    Correct terminology is 'travelator' or 'moving walkway' I spent years wondering what to call them so looked it up.

          Good review.

          Looks truly tulip.

          It may become an attraction because it is so bad.

            Perhaps they were hoping for something like this?

              Marble Arch Mound: Much-mocked tourist attraction to close

              The Marble Arch Mound, which was supposed to attract people back into the heart of the city, charged visitors up to £8 when it opened in July.

              However, the £6m artificial hill was forced to close temporarily when plants and grass began to die on the structure surrounded by scaffolding.

              Scheduled to run until January, it shuts for the final time on Sunday.

                  The travelator is probably for accessibility. Can't expect people to have to use their legs.
