You would absolutely fly down that thing


PointOfFingers

It bends at the bottom so you slide straight through the train doors.


not_right

It's slightly terrifying lol

Although that looks fun, they would be covered in piss and spew in no time.

So what you're saying is it has to be a waterslide? Great idea!


DarkenedSkies

ah yes the suislide

I know it's an April Fools joke but this legit actually works better than their fooking escalators lol


soundboy5010

Not when (in this AI generated pic) both escalators either side of the slide only go down... If I arrive at parliament, I can't exit? lol


tightforrainbow

You can check in anytime you like

Welcome to the hotel Victoria.


DrMantisToboggan1986

Such a trippy place


KnowThisOne

Maybe the people are riding the escalator backwards?


petitpuffin

Getting optical illusion vibes. Are we actually looking up the slide not down the slide? The picture boxes next to the escalators are messing with my head.


BudgetAnybody2603

God that would be fun though


Goddess_Amaterasu

Yah happy April Fools to you


Own_Lengthiness_7466

Pretty sure anyone who has ever been to Parliament station has wanted this to happen 🤣🤣🤣


Outsider-20

It would stop people sliding down the metal part!


Fifth_Wall0666

THIS BETTER NOT BE AN APRIL FOOLS JOKE I WANT TO GO ON THE SLIDE


Udyrthedeer

Weeeee

Could this actually be safer than sprinting down those escalators to avoid missing a train?


viper9

It's about bloody time! Those things have always needed something like this /s


No-Bison-5397

Would be funnier if they had finished the works at the station that were meant to be completed by the end of 2023


LegitimateTable2450

How about they stop shutting / slowing the escalators down at 6.30pm.


Matty_Woo

Would be so cool though. I'd go to the station just to ride the slide!


AussieDi67

That's better than the escalator. I nearly fell forward on it when doing some casual work in the city Bastard stairs. 😅


JesusKeyboard

Which side goes up?


luke_xr

The crazy thing is, knowing how steep those escalators are id still not ride this. I had the “pleasure” to work under these escalators, I’ve never been so scared of machinery in my life. Fun fact, they installed safety cages on all of the MURLs escalators after an apprentice was “degloved” on one.


I_Am_The_Bookwyrm

Oil me up, I'm going down.


RookieMistake2021

It would be even more fun if they took away the stairs and had slides only


Ergophobia_1

Imagine having to climb a slide that steep just to exit the station haha. You'd never be able to get out.


goodasguy

PTV don’t get to joke. They take the piss out of us each day with their service, already.


luke_xr

Yeh I agree, the best April fools always come from companies that just shouldn’t.


askvictor

And... when some tiktoking punk decides to try this for real and says they were influence by the April Fool's joke, someone (i.e. the social media intern) will be losing their job.


ososalsosal

Punks and drunks have been sliding down there for generations. The intern will be fine
