New Escalators At Bank Station To The Docklands Light Railway – 18th October 2022
In New Escalators At Bank Station Between The Northern Line And The DLR, I indicated that construction could be almost finished of the escalators that will connect the two lines.
The escalators have now opened.
Note.
- At the top of the escalators, you are delivered to a plaza, where the cross-tunnel between the two Northern Line platforms and the moving walkway to the Central Line meet.
- At the bottom of the escalators, you are in a wide passageway between the two DLR platforms.
- At the other end of the passageway, there are a pair of escalators that lead to Circle and District Line platforms and the Monument entrance to Bank station.
The escalators certainly open some faster pedestrian routes through the station.
Should Oyster Be Combined With A Freedom Pass?
Consider.
- This morning I wanted an early start, so to get to Moorgate, I left before 0900, which meant I couldn’t use my Freedom Pass on the buses and Underground.
- So I used my Oyster Card, which still had some money on it.
- After breakfast, it was nearly ten, so I swapped my card back to the Freedom Pass.
I believe it would be more convenient, if I had one card that handled both ticketing modes. It would be an Oyster card, but when I used it outside of the morning Peak, the card wouldn’t be charged.
