Good Design On The Amsterdam Metro
Sometimes, it’s good design that catches my eye as I roam around.
These pictures are from the Amsterdam Metro.
Most of the escalators I saw in The Netherlands had traffic lights and I like that. Stations in the UK don’t seem to have a policy about which side is up or down. Some shops also deliberately make their escalatoprs complicated, so you take a detour round the shop.
I would like to see a law, that all escalators (and ticket gates) had much better lights to show their direction of operation.
The wooden handrail must be the only one I’ve seen in a new station or building. Transport for London repairs old ones, but doesn’t seem to install new ones.
