Default Inclined lift at Greenford Station replaces the last wooden escalator

Somehow, I can't imagine the H&S people approving something like
that...


How does it differ from a trolley loaded with 50kg of shopping which
locks itself onto a Sainsbury's/Adsa inclined travelator, and rarely
fails such that it careers down into whoever is in front.


A smooth travelator is a lot easier than sliding steps. And a

wheelchair with a disabled person on board needs more protection than
a trolley (or luggage) on an inclined travelator.

Can wheelchairs use them ?

If not, every supermarket wheeled trolley is of similar design and has been
inspected for suitability.

Wheelchairs differ in size, weight and design.
