Theres a Old (H&c?) lift at Newton Abbot station, in Devon, Remember though, its not
on the acual platforms, its inside the ticket office, but sadly now, theyve riped the car out, and now using it as a store room, (but the gate and external buttons are still there!)
Nice one of new elevator than old freight elevator like around 1980's. Now we'll replace old one out then will be made new elevator improvement works! But maybe there have vision on CCTV on it. Nice new elevator services.
@benobve I see I was guss that from 1980's. But you said 1930's, it was realise that done history of old elevator is freighter elevator. But now normal elevator better than old ones. Actually, I'm not used tthese lift oo much anyway!!!
Its kind of funny, but even Singapore has them. The old Evans lift in train stations are hardly being used anymore, since the new Toshibas are actively used for disabled access.
This also happens to railway stations in Germany. There are loads of old lifts, which are now abandoned. The lifts were used for baggage transport, but DB doesn't offer it any longer. Examples: Cologne-trade fair/Deutz, Löhne (Westf.). But there are old lifts, which are still in use to load the long-distance trains' bistro cars with food. Examples: Cologne central station, Dortmund central station. But these lifts are locked off.
@PostTower I was visinting Berlin from te UK recently, And stubled upon a OLD FLOHR lift, but even though it was abondoned and lcked off, the car lights were amazingly still on
There were lifts like this at Banbury and Didcot stations, but they are long gone, replaced with the usual Stannahs. I'm guessing the disappearance of parcles traffic removed the need for most of these old goods lifts to be kept in working order.
The buttons for the lift at Swanley look a lot more modern than you would expect for an abandoned lift.
There are some old o&k lifts on the Tyne and Wear Metro

This is how the UK spends your tax dollars if you travel the UK. They should have restored them and allow them to run!

@EMMAWONDERLAND1 The old lifts are from the 1930s.
THE OLD LIFTS ARE FAR BETTER THAN THE NEW LIFTS

I don't know the situation at letchworth the lifts were abandoned but I don't know if things have moved since a couple of years ago.

Very interesting.
0:40 i wonder how many coats of paint these buttons have had since they were last pressed properly!
Another 'wonder' - Wonder why they feel the need to remove the lift car when a lift becomes derelict.
Cool video.
