  1. Why on earth would you want to know such a mind blowingly boring piece of trivia such as that?

    And by the way, it's spelt 'escalator', 4th letter 'a', not 'u'.


  2. The Angel, I think

  3. Angel is the station that you are after.

    Apparently the best looking station on the Underground, and it has the added advantage of having the longest escalator on the whole tube system, which was constructed when the station was rebuilt in 1991. The change from lifts to escalators meant that the station entrance was moved uphill onto Islington High Street.

    Angel is also probably London's ultimate fashion observatory, perhaps with the exception of Camden Town or Leicester Square at the weekend, or Sloane Square generally. All you have to do is go there on a Friday night, take the escalator and look down from the top. There's a wild assortment of people going out, so if you stand at the top of the escalator and look down it's like witnessing a fashion show on a vertical catwalk of styles, hairdos, attitudes and gimmicks.

  4. Since it was rebuilt, it has been Angel on the Northern Line.

    Prior to that it was Holborn.

  5. Angel

  6. It's at Angel tube station .

  7. It is the one at the rebuilt Angel station, it is about 192 feet in length and takes around 80 seconds to descend/ascend.

    Prior to the station being rebuilt in the early 1990s I'm not too sure what the previous record holder was.

  8. Escalators are so cool !

    Whether they be short or long.

    In a cool location or somewhere rank !

    The main reason I think escalators are cool is if even if they break they become STAIRS which is so cool

    How many things do you know that if they break they are still cool !

    A broken escalator could have a sign on it,,,,

    SORRY THIS ECSALATOR IS BUSTED

    IT IT NOW STAIRS

    .......

    SORRY FOR THE CONVENIENCE !

    Escalators are SOOOO COOOOOL

    I luv' em
