From experience that isn't a problem and takes a matter of seconds.
The biggest problem at Farringdon is the extremely cramped facilities
for passengers. The exit stair from the northbound platform is
extraordinarily narrow and it takes ages to get off the platform in
the morning peak. Almost as bad is the access along the narrow
southbound platform when it is crowded in the evening. I hope the
station gets completely rebuilt in the TL plan otherwise it will never
cope with the proposed 12 car trains.


You've missed all the discussions over the last few years about the Moorgate
Branch being closed so that the Farringdon platforms can be lengthened to 12
cars, and the entire station rebuilt for Thameslink then?
