London Underground advises customers to avoid changing at Bank

Due to ongoing escalator work at Bank Underground station, part of Transport for London`s (TfL) investment programme, London Underground (LU) is advising customers to avoid changing at the station where possible. Peter Tollington, Central line General Manager, said: "There are a total of 15 escalators at Bank/Monument stations most of which are coming to the end of their working life. Works are currently taking place to maintain and eventually replace them. "However this means that passenger journeys can take longer when changing trains at Bank/Monument due to congestion at the station, on some occasions the station has to be shut to prevent overcrowding. We`re asking customers where at all possible to avoid changing at Bank/Monument station and seek alternative interchange routes to avoid these delays."
