Description: | Since escalators were first introduced on the Underground in 1911, they have undergone much design and technical development. This large-scale sectional model shows the MY-A-type escalator and its workings, as installed on the Victoria line in 1968.
Built originally to illustrate an M-type escalator, the model seems to have undergone several modifications, including being changed from a MH-type to a MY-A type, both of which were used on the Victoria line when it opened in 1969. The model was altered once again when it was used to help with the Fennell Enquiry into the Kings Cross disaster in 1987. | Format: | image/jpeg | Publisher: | London Transport Museum | Rights holder: | Transport for London | Subjects: | Transport | Temporal: | 1968 | Source: | London Transport Museum | Identifier: | http://www.20thcenturylondon.org.uk/rser... | Language: | en-GB | Format: | image/jpeg | Go to resource |
