Is Angel Station closed? London Underground station 'open for exit only' while TfL fixes 'faulty escalator'

According to Transport for London (TfL), Angel Underground Tube station is only “open for exit” meaning that passengers cannot enter the station. It says on its website: “Reduced escalator service - there is no down escalator in service from the ticket hall due to a fault.

“Exit Only - Angel: This station is open for exit only while we fix a faulty escalator. Tickets are being accepted on London Buses.”

Commuters have taken to X to share their frustration. One said on X: “Well that is not fun. Wdym Angel station is exit only… I’m gonna have to go on a side quest to get home post concert”.

Another added: “Just when you’re in a tearing hurry, @TfL decides to close Angel Tube station ‘for escalator repairs’. I hope they don’t take as long as the escalator replacement on the Bank to Monument interchange - scheduled for some reason to take an incredible whole year!!”.
