I hadn't seen that when I asked in an earlier post about the effect on the local stations of the centre opening, but I always suspected that of the various options for travel the Central Line platforms would be the weakest link... A check of the daily report shows one of the escalators failed and then the Police asked for the station to be closed. *When the escalator was returned to service the station reopened. *I think that places a different emphasis on events. It does indeed. Though I suppose it begs the questions as to why a brand new escalator failed! I also wonder why the Police (presumably the BTP) asked for the station to close as opposed to LU staff deciding on this action themselves - though I dare say that a simple one line report cannot really explain the whole situation properly. |
