If what you say is correct it is against all procedures.....circulating
areas, particularly at the top of the escalator must be fee flowing to
prevent accidents... I will be there tommorrow morning and have a look.

It seems that at least every week there are ticket checks at Vauxhall
Victoria line station. I am not sure that I see the point of
constantly checking the valitity of a ticket when the gate would
reject an invalid ticket.
This morning there was a dangerous mass of people congergrating at the
top of the escalator resulting in a lot of pushing and shoving as
everybody had their tickets visually checked.
What are they expecting to find?
