It *is* faster to stand on the escalator rather than walk, 6-month London Tube study finds

Surprisingly, in some cases, it is better and more efficient to stand rather than walk on the escalator, according to the results of a study obtained through a Freedom of Information request from Gizmodo's James O'Malley.
