When they renovated the station, maybe 10 years ago, they put in two 'moving sidewalks'. They are useful if you are fighting against the masses, but obviously suck down electricity continuously, need repairs, and need routine maintenance, like replacing the treads, added to the cost of purchasing and installing them, a colossal waste of money that could have been spent repairing...
