  • We take a POV ride on 1x KONE travelator (moving walkway) at Gatwick Airport’s South Terminal - Landside. This goes from the car parks and shuttle bus / National Express coach drop off areas, over the railway tracks and into the terminal. This is on the right hand side when facing the terminal - on the left hand side is a Schindler travelator in from a couple of years before. Also right next to this Kone travelator the other side of the wall there is a travelator heading back out (also Schindler).

    There are also some Kone escalators very near to these and some Kone and Schindler escalators in the railway station underneath!

    I've flown from this terminal a lot when I was younger so I remember some of what it was like before it was refurbished in 2012. The 3 long travelators were originally O&K. There was also some O&K or Kone escalators to the upper level in the terminal which were removed when the Schindlers were installed and a there was a glass Kone hydraulic lift which was removed around the same time, and I've seen an old looking escalator going from the little-used check in area which is now where the domestic arrivals area is I think.

      I remember vaguely how it was before too - I remember the travelator out was a 1980s O&K the same as the ones to the shuttle train, though I always remembered the one that the inbound Schindler replaced as a metal balustraded Otis. I may be wrong. 😅
      I do remember the older escalators in the terminal and in fact I did find some old pictures online - they were O&K, again old metal sided ones probably from around 1980. The small escalator you mention up from the domestic arrivals section is the same sort (it’s a 1976 O&K originally). There’s a video coming. It’s silver now but I am sure the metal balustrades were blue originally. Outside by the car park where the travelators start - before Kone replaced the escalators in 2004/5 they were 70s ones too with black steps and the ‘Keep Clear Of Yellow Lines’ warnings that used to be common! 😄
