Escalator on the St Petersburg Metro
Because it needs to run below huge rivers, the Saint-Petersburg Metro is the deepest in the World and the Primorskaya platform is seventy-one metres below ground with an escalator ride of one hundred and ten metres which takes several minutes to get to the bottom (the deepest station on the London Underground by-the-way is Angel on the Northern Line at sixty metres and on the New York Subway it is 191st Street on the Seventh Avenue Line at a mere fifty-five metres).
That’s D.e.e.p. At least for ME. You’d never know by looking at the surroundings.

I once went down the Wieliczka salt mine in Krakow which is 327 metres deep!

My father worked in a gold mine nearly a mile underground. I couldn’t manage any of that. Haven’t even taken a subway for years.

Can’t get my head around this kind of scary.

71 meters? You could do some mining while you are down there!

It seemed to take forever to get to the bottom of that escalator!
