Is there any point in oyster pay as you go users touching in on the pink oyster reader, if you're making a straightforward connection between the ELL and jubilee line, with your final destination being a zone 1 tube station? Doesn't seem to make any difference to the amount you pay...

And is there anything we can do to improve the escalator situation? It is bad now, and that's before the ELL route to clapham opens and we lose the ability to change at london bridge for charing cross trains. I'm not sure what the practical solutions are.
