I should hope not. See the sub-thread about Greenford.


Although I can't find anything relating to TfL, there are numerous
references on the WWW to escalators for transport systems having a
design life of 25 years.


Maybe but there are plenty on the Underground well older than that, or
were before the King's Cross fire. How many of the late 1960s Victoria
Line escalators have been replaced so far?
