Imperfect Escalator in Nakanobu Station of Toei Asakusa Line
Why didn't they make the escalator 1m longer? I searched the web and found someone asked the question and a person answered it.
When the station was built in 1968, there was no escalator. Ten or twenty years later, they planned to make one. But it appeared that the structure of the platform made it impossible to have the escalator equipments under the floor. This was the only solution at the time.
