my guess is that health & safety will not allow as passengers wishing to go down to platform level will be expecting the escalators to be moving in a down direction and may attempt to board.....what do you think?
They could use the same method that prevents passengers wishing to go up to street level trying to board a down elevator
.
The one currently in use at Argyle Street.
and that would be?
the only experience I have that allows me to make that guess was when attempting to visit the first floor of the Savoy Centre (InShops) and coming across a diversion via the out of the way ramp due to the "Up" escalator being "out of order", when I asked one of the retailers why they didn't reverse the down escalator they told me that ,"health & Saftey" regulations prevented doing so.
