Taking turns.

Last week the escalator had had quite enough and the up and down both stopped working simultaneously.

That left the lift on my entry side of the bus station and stairs at the other.  That had to be factored in the time allotment for work to bus.  The lift being kept quite busy.

It took a few days for the escalators to be fixed and just as they were the lift, much put upon by all the extra usage decided it was deserving of a rest and broke down.

Today, lift and escalators working I approached the opposite end of the station as that is where my bus leaves to be greeted with this sight.

 

Yes the stairs were now "not working" well closed for maintenance, it struck me as funny .
