One original escalator at each end of the tunnel has been retained with the wooden treads. They are stationary and there is no access to them. The kit to drive them is so out of date (DC drives via Mercury arc rectifiers). Went on a field trip from Hebburn Tech and went got shown around. The rectifiers were huge, glowed purple in the dark. They were like something out of Doctor Who.
