Holborn is busy for much longer, and has a congestion problem that needs

The easy solution, in my opinion, is simply to run the escalators a bit
faster, say a 25% increase in speed at rush-hours. Most users then are

seem to cope with much higher speeds.

A vision of the Merry-Go-Round at the end of Strangers On A Train just sprang into my head.
