This is a question B3TA fixes the world

Moon Monkey says: Turn into Jeremy Clarkson for a moment, and tell us about the things that are so obviously wrong with the world, and how they should be fixed. Extra points for ludicrous over-simplification, blatant mis-representation, and humourous knob-gags.

Escalators on the London Underground
All escalators should be widened for the inclusion of a third lane, the lanes would be organised thusly:

Lane 1: Standing only. For the elderly, the infirm, the lazy, London's undead, and for fatties.

Lane 2: Walking lane. For those fatties from lane 1 who, and fair play to them, feel that "they want to have a go", but would otherwise impair the movement of those in lane 3.

Lane 3: Brisk walk/run. For those Londoners who still have a pulse.

This should be rolled out across the network as soon as possible.

Why would you want to walk up/down an escalator?
Surely the whole point is that everyone on them moves at the same speed, thus no one has to push past anyone else?

You, sir/madam, are part of the problem, not the solution.

I would offer, however, that the little warning signs should be removed from between the escalators, allowing those who wish to, to slide down.
