At Angel station where an escalator is being replaced there is a sign
saying "This escalator has travelled to the moon and back". Is this
true? Why did they take an escalator to the moon?

Some of the craters on the moon are very deep. When you're wearing a space
suit, it's a lot easier to use the escalator (remebering to stand on the
right!) than to climb up the emergency steps cut in the side of the crater.
Some older craters have lifts, but these are gradually being replaced by
escalators. ;-)
