it seems the Elizabeth Line has taken a leaf out of Thameslink's book and installed an automatic stop-a-tron at Paddington

@eta need this at liverpool street! I have watched people with multiple suitcases try to wrangle them on the escalators and inevitably have them fall onto someone or cause a blockage at the other end

@scarlet it is a huge problem, yes, but the stop-o-tron does nothing useful -- by the time it's detected you, you've already walked past it (and tbh the people who do that with suitcases don't listen to warnings anyway)

@eta @scarlet

TBH I usually carry suitcases over stairs or escalators (so far never had one fall down) but would probably take a lift if a sign instructed me to do so with a stated reason other than _my_ safety.
