Is it because the new building can't cope?

It's a disgrace, anyway.

It's very unlikely to have anything to do with the ticket hall area and
everything to do with platform capacity. There is no point jamming
platforms so full of people that is impossible for them to move or let
people alight from trains. It would be irresponsible to allow a build up
of huge numbers of people underground who would then become stuck
because a disrupted train service could not get them cleared away.

I am speculating as to when you were affected by a closure but I believe
there were problems on both the Picc and Vic lines this evening and they
would be under further strain due to the Central Line problems. If the
station is closed it will be for safety reasons.

I agree it is inconvenient - I would not agree that it is a disgrace.
