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
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?
