2x brand new (2026) TKE Escalators - The Harvey Centre, Harlow

A ride on the 2 new TKE escalators inside the Harvey Centre in Harlow. These are the Velino (853) type, built in 2026 in TKE's factory in Hamburg, Germany. This shopping centre originally had 2 O&K older style RTK escalators dating back to around the centre's opening in 1982. In 2026, after over 40 years of service they were replaced with these 2 new TKE escalators. While the new escalators are a good improvement, the old O&K escalators were of course far better than these. Watch my earlier video of the original O&K escalators if you'd like to see them:    • (GONE) 2x O&K Escalators at the Harvey Cen...   They've also changed the directions of both escalators. The up escalator was originally where the down escalator is now on the Primark end of the centre, and where the down escalator is now on the cinema end of the centre was where the up escalator was before. This isn't the first time the escalators have been reconfigured at this centre. Both escalators were originally next to each other in a criss-cross formation, however back in 2012 when the centre was being refurbished they moved the then-up escalator to the other end of the centre, closer to where the cinema is now. Only the then-down escalator remained in it's original location. Some old photos show the original layout here.
