Nah, it will be fine. There are 3 other entrances, all of which have stairs, lifts and up/down escalators. Plus a lift at that very same entrance. I live in Santiago, Chile, and many metro stations here have multiple entrances, and often they will only have 1 escalator going up, plus stairs and a lift. It works fine, as the vast majority of users are capable of walking down the stairs. The few who cannot, will use the lift or another entrance. The important thing is to provide mechanical assistance for going up, and one escalator will do the trick.

]]>Hopefully. But remember that the last time Transdev was involved in running the trams in Melbourne, they did very well. I think they got fined once for poor service, and that was due to an incident on CityLink and not Transdev. Note that this was post-reunification, and I am not sure of their record when they only operated half of the tram network.

Story I heard is that it is still going to happen, but the implementation was delayed.
]]>It’s just unprotected painted kerbside bike lanes, which pass over kerb side of the platform tram stops.
