The 'Vital Statistics' pages do contain some useful hard facts

"The TTS station is underground, and passengers travelling from
Terminal 5B descend to the station via the longest open design
escalator in Europe. It will take 90 seconds to travel on the
escalator which has a vertical rise of 21.75 metres.

Does that beat the escalator at Angel Tube station? What's an "open
design" escalator, anyway; and where is the presumably longer "not open
design" escalator somewhere else in Europe?
