Why replace old escalators?
Replacing old escalators, like Angel's 35-year-old units, improves reliability and safety, as one has been out of service since April. Modern escalators are also more energy-efficient and easier to maintain, reducing long-term operational costs. This upgrade ensures a smoother and safer journey for passengers at this busy Northern line station.
