Actually they are not , all the signs say the prams must be folded. it is rarely if ever enforced .

Already been discussed, but what I was getting at is they're aloud through with their prams and kids and proceed to go down the escalators with it (with their child in it) when cyclists can't take a bike down them. Know what I mean? there should be more control over this as one stated that they witnessed a woman's baby and pram fall down the oscillators.

It's a bit more complicated than that...
I use the Jubilee, so all is goodjump from one train to another :P
I think this also falls under the rubrick of "being a twat". You may not like the rules, but they're there. If people follow them they're more likely to be loosened. If people don't, they're more likely to be strengthened.
After finishing my 12 hours night shift my cycle was punctured at about 4 miles away from my home,with no backup i blame myself for that,
i ran towards nearest bus stop and waited about 5 minutes Mr bus driver who seemed to hate cyclists very angry refused me to be on bus even though i tried to explain my situation, so i decided to walk to next bus stop instead of waiting, again the driver refused i also offered i can take both wheels off yes not one but both but computer says No was the answer.
long story short i end up walking home :/ but lesson learned i keep full kit now

Some people forget the tube is mostly staffed by umanbeins. Try and fiddle your way through and you are likely be told to go away. Be distraught with an unrideable bike on a wet night out of rush hour and you will probably be waved through with a smile. And should you meet a jobsworth then it being London there will be another bus along shortly or the next station is probably within walking distance.
Some stations (like Kings Cross) have lines that take bikes (out of rush hours) and lines that don't. There is one barrier so if you say you are taking the Circle you might be able to get it on the Northern if you are discrete. You will get a bollocking at the other end but they aren't going to send you back.

These are all the same service rebadged. The offer is:
"Call Assist will take you and your bicycle to a bicycle repair shop, railway station, car rental agency or your home or alternative overnight accommodation if either are nearer."
So, you're stuck somewhere out of office hours, all they will do is take you to a train station (pointless if you can't get a train home) or a car rental agency (will be more expensive than a taxi). They will only take you home if it's nearer than either of the above.
