And how suddenly would the escalators stop if you press the big red stop button.
Actually witnessed a member of staff use the emergency stop button. It took about two seconds for it to become stationary. I always find it a pain that the handrails don't match the speed of the stairs (sorry if this has been said before)
I said that to Cate on the escalators the other day, I wasn't sure whether it was my imagination but clearly is isn't. It's fine on some but doesn't match properly on others. |

How random. Did anyone fall over? What happened? Why did they push it?

We can all feel a little safer on the escalators apart from the victim who gets the rest of his leg sucked in |
