Normal rules of "stand on the right and run up the left" don't seem to
apply to these escalators (even for people without luggage). Indeed, as
the years go by, I see that rule applied less to the UndergrounD as
well. I can recall when people standing on the left would be shouted at
by people trying to get past, but there are so many tourists around
nowadays, it seems locals are more relaxed about it.


Hmm. In the peaks it certainly still seems "enforced". But it is a
peculiarly London thing - you won't see it on, say, Merseyrail -
people will just stand still on both sides.
