South escalator
At each end, the tunnels are connected to surface buildings by four escalators and lifts.
The Waygood-Otis escalators have 306 wooden steps each, and are the original models from 1951.
At the time of construction, they were the longest single-rise escalators in the world,
with a vertical rise of 85 ft. (25.9 m) and a length of approximately 200 ft. (60 m).
Replaced by inclined glass lifts in 2024
