I wonder what the signs say as you emerge from the Khyber pass,
about getting to the Northern?

I thought the current route was via the Piccadilly escalator. Is the
access from the bottom to the Northern actually blocked off?

When I looked (about three weeks ago) the short escalators for the
Northern were all going "up", and the sets of stairs had gates drawn
across them.

It's worth a try though. The other weekend I took a chance on one of
the short escalators being fixed, and it turned out that it was.
Another time it was fixed, but the spoilsports had put a plastic
barrier across.
