I saw the poster just before Christmas at the bottom of the escalators from the Jubilee line at London Bridge. They are shutting the escalators up to the London Bridge mainline station until May. I didn't have time to get a leaflet to find out why they are doing this and I suspect that most commuters have ignored the posters because it's difficult to stop and read them when you are in a moving crowd.
This is potentially going to add five to ten minutes to my journey each way which means up to 26 hours of my life lost to an extra bit of commuting. How sad am I for working that out. The thing that bothers me about this is that most people will try and use the Northern line entrance because it is closer than the Borough entrance. The Northen line entrance is usually crowded because the station staff often have to close the barriers while the platforms clear. With the extra numbers of Jubilee Line commuters trying to use this entrance it could become a massive bottle neck.
Let's see what happens tommorow.
