It seems that services from Woolwich will be terminating at Shadwell

This is due to "unplanned escalator works".


I am mystified as to how the escalator situation will be eased if the
same number of people arrive in larger groups on fewer trains.


What am I missing as usual?


A number of passengers who were decanted at Shadwell deciding to head
to Tower Gateway instead of Bank? (Perhaps helped by the next
westbound train being to Tower Gateway?)


Maybe. It smells a little bit of what they did before, on the lines
of "let's deliberately make the situation even more dangerous so that
people will give up trying and then it will get safer".

I still have a problem with the logic though.
