Escalator 41 :

Extant Historic Escalator Models: (2) Europe:St. Anna Pedestrian Tunnel underneath the Schelde in Antwerp, Belgium. This tunnel was opened in 1933. Tyne Cyclist and Pedestrian Tunnel, Tyne and Wear, England -These escalators, manufactured by Waygood Otis in 1951, were "believed to be the longest single lift escalators in the world", at the time of installation. Presumably the first escalators in Britain designed specifically for cyclists, they are also "thought to be still" the longest escalators in the United Kingdom. At most, they may be the longest extant wooden escalators in operation in the world. Greenford Station in Greenford, England contains the oldest escalator still in use on the London Underground service. This was the first above ground station to install an escalator to its high levels and one of the few (if not the only) wooden escalators not to be replaced after the fire at Kings Cross station
