with a company that takes 9 months to fix an escalator nothing comes as
a surprise anymore...

Isn't it taking 18months at Marylebone to replace or fix or whatever
they are doing to it?

More than likely. It took them 3 years to sort out all the escalators at
Holborn. Considering it took far less time than that to originally build the
station including installing the escalators you can only laugh at the absurdity
of it all.

It's often the case that building something is a lot quicker than
dismantling and replacing parts of it.

If the factory can build a car from scratch on less than an hour - why
is it that the garage takes two days to replace the engine?

Because they don't have access to the original factory equipment or manpower
to do it quicker. When you have those facilities you CAN do it as witnessed by
rally teams who can change an engine in 30 minutes. And as LU is fond of
telling us these escalators have gone back to the manufacturers factory
for some TLC where presumably they have all the people and equipment they
need. So that excuse doesn't wash. Next....

When have they ever said that?

I believe it was mentioned in Metro once. Or do you have other information?
Does the station manager have all the bits tucked away in the back room?

Oh right. Well, we've already seen what you 'believe' to be true...

Of course they do. a huge-big ****-off with all the parts required to
replace every single escalator on the system. And the only reason they
don't replace it in a single week is to **** you off.

Of course they do. A huge-big ****-off cupboard, with all the parts
required to replace every single escalator on the system. And the only
reason they don't replace it in a single week, is just to **** *you*
off.
