They said it was because of overcrowding, but when I asked Tube staff where the overcrowding was, they said it was on the Central Line platforms. If trains don't stop at the platform, how will this ease overcrowding? Surely it makes things worse. I think that a number of routes are under pressure because of the Northern Line problems and the Vic Line was seriously disrupted at Oxford Circus yesterday. Liverpool St was closed temporarily to people entering it. The platforms would be full and believe me when platforms get completely full the last thing you want is more people trying to push onto them while others are trying to get off. How can others get off if the trains don't stop to let anyone get off? They *were* stopping, probably. Did someone tell you they weren't, or did you infer that (incorrectly) from the fact that the station was closed to people entering it? -- Richard J. (to e-mail me, swap uk and yon in address) |
