Why do they keep closing Kings X in the rush hour?

I would. As other people have said , its usually down to the northern line platforms being packed. The other 5 lines serving the area normally run ok. All they need to stop is just prevent northern line trains stopping at the station , make announcements to that effect and leave the station open for everyone else. If they prevent Northern Line trains stopping at the station, then the people already on the crowded platforms won't be able to get on a train, and the overcrowding will remain. And even they did make announcements telling people not to go to the Northern Line, the typical commuter would either not hear or not obey. You'd need a physical barrier to stop people getting to the platforms, while still allowing arriving passengers out. I don't think there's room for building turnstiles in the narrow corridors there. But, hey, don't let boring old facts spoil the fun of your ridiculous rant! But obviously that would require a bit of effort on the part of LU whereas closing the whole station is so much easier as then the staff can just drink tea and watch TV for 30 mins. |
