Clive, I note that you still claim that Angel has "allegedly the
longest escalators in Western Europe". Probably they have the highest
rise (27.39m), but the escalators from Heathrow Terminal 5 to the
people movers that serve the satellite terminals are said to be "the
longest open design escalator in Europe" (whatever that means),


"In an open environment" says Kone's site. Which clearly means they are
excluding claustrophobic environments like Angel station.

though with a lesser rise of 21.75m.
