While the current insanity prevails at Bank, it would be very helpful

This would be helpful anyway, but it's not going to happen because of
what is happening at Bank - it will happen as and when Southeastern
and Southern eventually agree to accept Oyster PAYG.

A decision has been made to block the only current PAYG route (DLR)
into Bank, so if decisions can be made to block passageways that are
unaffected by the works, surely decisions can be made to provide an
alternative PAYG route.


Is what's happening at Bank that insane? Escalators need to have heavy
maintenance done on them from time to time after all.

Yes. Totally insane. I am referring to the deliberate closure of
routes with no escalators and the principle of inconveniencing
passengers unnecessarily in order to discourage them from using a
station.

TfL's priority should be to provide safe and environmentally-friendly
transport in London. Instead, their priority seems to be to make one
tiny patch totally safe with no consideration of the effects on the
safety and efficacy of the rest of transport in London.
