I'd like to se you do it any faster...


If I was trained and was part of a good team I'm damn sure I could.
When railtrack replaced the escalators at fenchurch street station it
took them..... ready for this?... ONE WEEK! It can be done if the
people doing it have a clue and give a sh*t.


And if you can't spot the difference between the two situations, then
I'm pretty glad that you won't ever be allowed near the workings of an
escalator.


Do the ones at fenchurt street run 12 hours a day? Yes.

Are they used by thousands of people every day? Yes.

Are they in a dirty enviroment and partially exposed to the elements? Yes.

So what do the LU ones have to do that others don't? Please explain cos I'm
all ears....
