Default Bank WL&C / Central Line Ticket Hall

I saw a rather odd board up at Bank station the other day on my way through;

It read something along the lines of;
The stairs *&* trav-o-lators will be exit only between 07:00 - 10:00.

This was a hand written message on a white board, no station posters or
anything where spied.

I've found the following vauge description on the TfL engineering list, but
it only talks about the central line ticket hall.

"Major escalator refurbishment work is taking place. Please avoid changing
trains at Bank where possible.Between 0700 and 1000 on weekdays the Central
line ticket hall will operate as 'exit only'. Please follow the signage
within the station for an alternative route to the Central line platforms.
To change between the District and Circle lines and the Central or Northern
or Waterloo & City lines, exit Monument station and follow the signs above
ground via King William Street. If you are using and Oyster card, please
touch in and out as usual. You will not be charged twice."


Do they actually mean there will be no WL&C line service *to* WAT in the
mornings or has someone dug a new access to the platforms over the weekend?

What sort of fun should I expect on Tuesday or Wednesday when I'm next there
before 10:00.

TIA.
