Safety & Practicality:

Moving belts/chains have been dumped as impractical
even on reserved rights of way railways, using them in
a street setting is an absurd idea.

They obviously have to be grade-separated.

So there would be ugly elevated concrete
guideways everywhere. Yuck, even worse.

Actually, a grade separated travelator route from Waterloo Station to Euston
Station could be achieved with merely 5 short subways, and the appropriation
of the Kingsway Tram Subway. Some roads would have to be narrowed, but the
tram scheme also requires that. I can't comment on how this would affect
access to properties, though.
