This led to the 18-month close-down of all UK paternosters for a safety review, during which additional safety devices were fitted.
At Sheffield one of the 50 top things to achieve whilst at university (I don't think getting a degree features on this list!) is apparently to have sex whilst going over the top in the lift in the Arts building .. which may explain what went wrong at Newcastle ..  I think all of those still in service in the UK are now in buildings where they are used only by employees and students in universities
