Given that I'm an engineer by trade whose worked on machinary thats a
*teensy*
bit complex than the glorified conveyor belts known as escalators I think
I
have half a clue about how complex they are to fix - ie not very. But in
good
old british tradition we keep getting spin about how they're so damn
complex
it takes months to fix and so bloody forth. Bull****. They're about as
simple
a bit of machinary as you can find, the REAL reason is LU and their sub
contractors couldn't organise a proverbial ****-up with less than 6 months
advanced notice.
Oh that'd be fun, wouldn't it, having contactors working between a machine
they're taking apart and one running! Grinding machines might just play
havoc with the fire alarm systems, bringing in steps and metal panels would
sure please the insurers too!
