Note to self: must go for a final ride on the wooden escalator before it disappears.

The downside to installing an incline lift in an existing deep level tube station is that you invariably take away the staircase that is needed as reserve during escalator works, and encourage crowding at the base/top of the escalators as people wait for the lifts.

It's basically an indoor cliff railway.
