The connection to Monument is an escalator, not a Travolator. There is a moving walkway (no longer an Otis Travolator) in the complex, between the W&C platforms and the Central Line. More at CULG (natch). --rbrwr

The moving walkway runs between the booking hall and the W&C not the Central line and W&C Wilmot1 15:36, 21 May 2007 (UTC)

A WWII bomb hit the Bank junction in the 1940s, killing several people, collapsing a large part of the subway and disrupting traffic above. News of the bomb was suppressed to avoid giving the Germans a propaganda victory. It would be useful to include this in the article, but I don't have the full details. Anyone?

"The Underground at War" has the exact date, casualty lists, etc.:

[edit] Split?

Althrough they are connected, the stations are surely so far apart that they should have their own seperate articles. Lord Cornwallis (talk) 12:59, 26 April 2008 (UTC)
