Why is there a blocked off escalator left running in the wrong direction ?. I have noticed this more than once at Victoria underground station where the escalators bring people up from the Victoria line (the old up/exit and down/in route). There are three escalators and on each occasion the central one has been running in the down (so wrong ?) direction but with tapes pulled across to block access. There were no staff hanging around waiting to open it to use and the way down is now via a new escalator shaft and tunnels anyway. What is the purpose of this ?. The two outer escalators were running in the up direction as this escalator shaft has become exit only.
I noticed this today (Sunday 27/12/2022), last Thursday (24/12/2022) and some time before.
