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.
Thank you for that!
