An additional problem with old escalators is that the spare parts often have to be custom-made. “That explains why the repair can take a while. Moreover, the escalator also has to be inspected again afterwards. That takes some time, but we are really behind the feathers of the maintenance companies.”
It is not only broken elevators and escalators that are a source of annoyance for commuters and travelers. The ongoing renovation of train stations, such as that of Gent-Sint-Pieters, requires a great deal of patience from those who have to squeeze through a construction site every day during the morning or evening rush hour to reach the tracks.
“You could also renovate a station like that of Gent-Sint-Pieters, the largest in Flanders, much faster, but that would mean leaving 40,000 travelers out in the cold. We choose not to work on the renovation during the renovation. train service, which is why it takes some time.”
