Your upper ranges of 800 per hour and 50 per lift equates to a lift fully occupying, travelling, fully exiting and back up every 3 minutes. This is simply not going to happen.
People are then being brought down to a southbound platform where trains are already very heavily congested with additional footfall from both Finsbury Park and Arsenal stations, so not all can board and crowd problems soon arise.
While it is an inconvenience to some, there is probably a very good reason why this station is not opened.
The person that stood in the queue then could have walked the short distance to one of the alternative stations and been happily on his or her journey by then.
