Talk:Angel tube station

"the longest escalators in Western Europe"
This is particularly vague. Could there perhaps be a link to the longest escalators in Europe, period?
 * AIUI the longest escalators in Europe (and the world?) are on the Prague metro system? Thryduulf 20:24, 4 May 2006 (UTC)
 * Not sure whether you are right and whether the Prague metro is the deepest one in the Europe (well that wikipage claims it is), but for example Náměstí Míru (Peace Square) station in the Prague's metro has tunnel 75 meters long with escalators 87 meters long. The center of the platform is 52 meters under the surface level Czech page about this station. Ceplm (talk) —Preceding undated comment was added at 22:34, 6 October 2008 (UTC).
 * Even if only Western Europe is included, the claim of Angel's escalators being the longest, or the ones with the highest vertical rise, seems to be false. The escalators at the Västra_skogen station on the Stockholm Metro is actually 66 m long and have a vertical rise of 33 meters. The statement should thus perhaps be changed to "..one of the highest.."? d99figge  13:00, 18 October 2009 (UTC)

Even now, the article claims they are the "fourth-longest set of escalators in Western Europe", then goes on to name 4 sets that are longer than it (including those at Heathrow)... clearly not the case then! — Preceding unsigned comment added by 81.108.43.19 (talk) 17:56, 24 January 2017 (UTC)

Highest escalators, NOT longest
As I understand it, the Angel escalators have a greater vertical rise than the Tyne Tunnel escalators - 27.4m vs 26.0m - but they are actually shorter in length (60m vs 61m), presumably due to being set at a steeper angle.

The Tyne Tunnel escalators were the longest escalators in Western Europe when they were installed in 1951, and remain so today. 217.155.20.163 (talk) 19:53, 7 August 2008 (UTC)
