However, the suspicion has always been that Union Railways want
passengers to walk past a quarter of a mile of retail outlets when
transferring between the two stations. A travelator, from which
passengers could not alight en route, would spell death to such
commercial ambitions.


I can't see that being allowed on H&S grounds. It would have to be a
series of shorter Travs with gaps.


Such as already exists in many airports -- a gap for each gate.


Yeah but that doen't allow for easy getting on an off. You're only likely to
see a retail outlet after you could conceivably have got off for it.

Are there any travelators in the shopping areas of airports?
