Four Lifts in the MetroCentre! Includes Unnatural Acceleration and LOUD Doors!

[Recorded October 2023 & 2024] A set of clips from 4 lifts in the MetroCentre in Gateshead today, in very varied states of health!

Up first is a relatively new Orona in Zara in a very healthy state as you would hope, and this was my first encounter with the newer font on these LCD indicators! This lift runs very well for an Orona!

We then slide down to the opposite end of the health scale with an OTIS GeN2 ruined by Pickerings in H&M! While the multicolour lights at the sides of the COP are interesting, the lift is not doing so well. The doors are crazily loud and it's definitely not as efficient as it used to be!

We then move to the end of the Green Mall just outside M&S where we find the KONE that replaced the last public Furse hydraulic lift! While there were a few lights out in the 2023 clip, the lift is still running very well!

And we finish off with one of the two Tecno lifts in Next! This lift has the most unnatural feeling acceleration I've ever come across, when going down in particular you feel like half of you is being left behind by how quick it gets to full speed! Very strange!
