There’s a lot of work going on at Haymarket still. The escalators have been replaced; this is the up escalator on the right as you’re coming up from the platforms.
(Sorry it’s late; we’re having posting issues. Hopefully we’ll be OK now but I couldn’t log in yesterday and Cassandra couldn’t get her picture to post)
OMG, That’s really steep! Almost like the escalators in the London Tube! Another fobia of mine: escalators. Pls do not think I’m a kind of freak. I just don’t like escalators and ice rinks …Have a nice weekend. Ciao. A.
That looks a long way up. Antonella may not like escalators, but I do! They are kind of exciting in a funny sort of way!
Well - I don’t really like the lifts in the Metro system, and like you say that’s a long way up - so I love the escalators too! I’ve walked up a couple of times and ended up EXHAUSTED :o)
Everyone has things they don’t like - some people just hide them better than others ;)
MartinC, if you like that, you’ll love this, it’s the tyne tunnel esculators, the
longest wooden esculators in the world.

Those tyne tunnel escalators really creep me, I don’t trust wooden escalators.
That looks pretty high. I have a height fear.
Great shot. Looks kind of spacy. I guess soon the white walls will be covered with the latest booze-up-for-£1 adverts…
The height of underground escalators has never stopped to amaze me since I first saw one 15 years ago. In my home town there’s no such thing as an underground.
I really have to try out that escalator under the Tyne sometime soon.
Chris I’ll reserve judgement, i don’t remember ever seeing one before.
Mike does it help that I was at the bottom looking up? Not sure if it’s obvious at a glance?
Daniel, I hadn’t thought of that… I hope not but I’m sure you’re right. Where’s your home town?
Heidelberg, Germany. Famous for its castle and its bridge (not totally unlike Newcastle in that respect, although the bridge is way older than yours are, the castle a lot younger…)
