New Escalators Installed at Aurangabad, India, Station

A rail station in Aurangabad, India, has been improved with escalators connected to two of its platforms, meaning all five platforms are now connected with moving stairs, Lokmat reported on June 20. Three of the station’s five platforms were already outfitted with escalators, but the other two required passengers to access them by walking on a bridge. The new escalators are seen as improvements for people who have difficulty accessing the platforms. In addition, an elevator is being installed at Platform 4, which will make it as lift-accessible as the other platforms.
