    I don't know if it's just me, but I find it very disorienting walking up or down their escalators when the power is off, I have the same problem in Novo. I think it is the yellow paint on them or the beer in me.

    I sat in the food court near the escalator one day and watched the security guard trying to keep the "up" escalator running. She would wait until no one was on it and then turn it back on. It would work when a few people were on it but within a couple of minutes there were more than 10 people on it and it quit working, (overload?), so she would once again wait until there were no people on it and turn it on again. This went on for a half hour as I waited for my other half to shop. So I can imagine the down escalators have a similar weight limit and I can picture the Christmas rush making it impossible to keep them turned on. I suggest it is time to upgrade the escalators.
