		They were of the "shunt" type where a diagonal barrier forced users off to the side at the end of their ride (the top of "down" escalators also had such a barrier so that they could be reversed if necessary).
		A total of 22 type A machines were installed, with one at Liverpool Street surviving until 1953 (Liverpool Street was also the first station to rely on escalators rather than lifts to provide the main access to the platforms).
		An asterisk () indicates that the lift with that number is owned by National Rail* and is therefore not classed as an LU asset.

	Clulow: Multimodal Transport in South Africa
		Contractual multimodal transport takes place when a single person assumes responsibility for the goods throughout the entire carriage from A to B regardless of whether he is physically involved in the carriage of the goods.
		The legal problems caused by contractual multimodal transport include whether a multimodal transport document is a document of title, whether the mandatory carriage regimes apply and how can the different mandatory carriage regimes be reconciled in the case of a multimodal transport operation.
		The difference from the pure network system, is that if the damage occurs during a mode of transport which is not subject to a mandatory carriage regime, or if one cannot establish during which mode of transport the damage occurred, then the liability will be governed by the provisions of the multimodal contract itself.

		By the end of the 1920s road passenger and freight transport services in Northern Ireland were being provided by a large number of small companies, many of them family businesses established by returning ex service men from World War 1.
