Tottenham Court Road escalators, December 2003.
"Boltar" wrote in message om... Oh here we go , they standard issue "if you think you can do better why don't you try". Yeah , I'll just go get a grant for a few hundred million to set up my own factory. Meanwhile , back in the real world I would suggest that the reason they take so long to fix is that LU gives them all the time in the world to get it done , so consequently they don't bother to work hard. Don't you think the likes of Otis or Kone would be turning round an escalator refurbishment in six weeks if it was possible? Consider the benifits - reduction in total wage cost per machine, more machines refurbished per annum = huge profits for the private company and and increased dividend for shareholders. Perhaps the management within those private companies are dullards... BTW, have you ever been in an escalator machine room, do you really realise how complicated and what a constrained place it is? |
