520 _aLooks at the dilemna of whether to refurbish or replace escalators. Considers the whole-life costs for three alternative ways of dealing with some 10-year old escalators. Suggests that refurbishment is the cheapest alternative if the escalator's age and capacity does not preclude it. Alternatively, escalator replacement may be the only option if architectural layout and capacity are the major influences on choice. Graph.
