Incidentally, all wooden escalators were removed from the London
Underground following the 1987 King's Cross fire.  Smoking was still
allowed on the underground then and someone dropped a lit match.

The TV series Secrets of the London Underground reported on the sole
remaining wooden escalator on the underground recently.  It isn't
accessible to the public.
