Overground platforms to Jubilee line reversing the escalator

This will never happen. It's already been requested numerous times. The response is that they fear the bottom of the escalators will have too many people and cause accidents (ie: people walking from the right escalator, to go to the left side, and the left escalator to go to the right side etc.) Which will cause a build up.


Their solution is for people to go up to the ticket hall, then back down. Which I've noticed lots and lots of people are already doing. It also disperses people to the other end of the Jubilee platform. So it's already working perfectly in their eyes.


Crossrail

I've had another think about this. I think coming home could be worse once Cross Rail comes in. Because there's a huge cross section of people who work around the Liverpool Street/Bank/Tottenham Court/Farringdon/Moorgate area who would never consider living down here. With CrossRail, it's <5 minute ride to Whitechapel and hop on to the Overground.



Crossrail 1 - £15bn
Crossrail 2 - £27.5bn
s***ty [/b][/u]Bakerloo Line extension ?? - £3bn. That just shows you how much lobbying power the South East has. Not much at all.
