true, but for S. Agostino station only. On the opposite the Brin station is up on an iron bridge upside the roads. The same (only) line is alltogether "underground, upground and overground"

that's Tom for you red shirts and witty quirks.... shit I rymed

+A Very Good Man i dont get it

+Alex Harris Minor characters in Star Trek wearing red uniforms are considered prone to death

I'm glad I'm not the only one that laughed at this.

@@devastator5042 No you didn't.

+Kerbal Rocketry Yes, very cleaver, I'd sure like to meat the person who came up with the idea.

Jaco Blades oh damn I really butchered my spelling there.

***** Don't worry, we all make misteaks.

Was gonna make a joke relating Kerbals and botched spelling; but I don't wanna argue sim antics. ...

Brilliant 😂

+Michael Sommers Well, the Italians are known for being accommodating.

+Cherry.Bakewell yeah, so accommodating that almost no subway station in Rome has any escalators or lifts. Had to pull my heavy luggage through several terminals.

It isn't just for the castle itself

Can't have all the "new Europeans " walking around using thier feet like suckers....

Gosh... you think it was built only to reach the castle... ... Have you ever been there, took the elevator? That elevator prevents people living in the nearby from climbing across a hill, skipping a long walk or traffic. In a vertical city such engineering works are normal. As in Lisbon. Why no complaint about the portuguese? Haha

@@MrRaffo99 Anche io sono genovese e il video l'ho visto solo ora, mannaggia ahah

+grande1899 *Ha*, just said the same thing to my husband!

+grande1899 "The Real Black Mesa Elevator" would have been a hell of a clickbait title, but I think it'd have just made a lot of people angry. (Also, it would have needed me to know something about video games to spot the reference...!)

+Tom Scott You're never too old to start playing some video games Tom. Who knows, you might like it.

***** Or just go full clickbait and title it "Half Life 3 release date announced!"

yes

+Phil Peace -12 for not making a half-life reference, though.

+midgetwars1 I thought it was only something non-native speakers did. I'm neither British nor American and I frequently find myself alternating between "movie" and "film", sometimes even in the same sentence.

Caleb Hubbard Who said I was annoyed. Read what I wrote.

+midgetwars1 To give you some insight (assuming you've none): I'm English, and I use a lot of American English and British English phrases interchangeably; they're just perfect synonyms to me, and allow me to speak with more variety.

Ba dum tssss

+David Ward No, you go inside the box.

+David Ward the orange box?

If only that elevator could talk; oh, the storeys it could tell!

Do it, I travel a lot, there's nothing like it. Get out there and see the world while you can.

@@shaunpierce4174 There's still a pandemic on Shaun

Europe is stunning and FULL of amazing places. I particularly love gorgeous Spain and Italy because of the very interesting and far reaching history + I can speak the languages. The best thing of it all is (was) that you could simply hop into your car and go anywhere and use your phone for free, free medical care etc. Now it really is travelling the world. Sad.

Yeah, this reminded me of Half-Life as well ;)

Nah, this is just an older compound. They let you tour the decommissioned compound to bring in extra funds.

+Fluffy Destroyer yup

Made me think of it as well indeed :D

The Aperture Science way of transport is much faster... :P

+Fluffy Destroyer im playing half-life 2 right now. is that close enough to be an amazing coincidence? :D

+Fluffy Destroyer Yes. Definitely. Was thinking about it the whole time xD

The Wonkavator!

up and out!

No Thyssenkrupp is making the wonkavator

No, it can't even go sideways or slantways let alone squareways or longways.

More like the lift from the Ministry of Magic from Harry Potter.

+sergio hidalgo c2.com/cgi/wiki?OneMoreLevelOfIndirection

+sergio hidalgo He probably calls it that because this thing is so old... I don't understand why they don't left it with a crane tho... Especially if it's a crane with a static grabber, where the only moving parts are bolts that lock sideways motion. That ought to be much lighter than driving this thing onto a lift... On the other hand, I don't know if the suspension of the lower cart could survive being lifted, or if the lower cart would have to be separated from the capsule.

The Great Steve The weight still creates a lot of stress on the pulley system.

Um yeah... am I the only person who thinks the most "brilliant" thing would have been to just have people get out of one and get into the other? It's like inventing a special astronaut pen that writes in space, despite pencils already existing.

One does wonder why engineering marvels like these never get featured on cable news...

+Peatry Mckendrick I once farted in an elevator, which was bad on _every_ level...

How could I live this many decades and have never heard that one before. Wow. I am stunned...Thanks

Yess Donnie you have forgot that after we have a shower using tomato souce instead of soap

You should look for 'The Elevator channel' here on KZfaq, then

I thought that 'The Elevator Channel' would just be boring music, but yeah its really about elevators.

eyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy

+Noah Hellman Well, that's on my list for next time I visit Berlin! I suspect I can only get away with one "odd lift" video a year though. :)

+Tom Scott No, we'll allow you three "odd lift" videos per year...

+QuantumFluxable I was going to ask what the strangest elevator in the world is (since this is just the strangest in Italy), so thank you for answering my question

+Tom Scott Just find a third unusual lift system. That'll keep it odd :P

I always wonder how I manage to live in Berlin and always have people talking about things they've seen in Berlin that I've never even heard of.

@Ng John truly

because our parents where not very original when naming you

@@catnium Our?

Why do you have his name?

those are usually called trains ( i know what you actually mean )

We remind you that from 1 January 2024 the vertical systems (elevators, funiculars and rack railways) are free every day of the week without time limits for all citizens residing in the Metropolitan City of Genoa. In case of control, an identity document certifying residence in one of the municipalities of the Metropolitan City of Genoa must be shown to the verification staff.

+john howe I deliberately switched between the two in my script, just so everyone was annoyed equally! "Elevator" won for the title because it's less ambiguous.

+Tom Scott I know what you mean Tom but I love chiding my American friends and colleagues here about their "terrible" English:)

It is called "Elevador" in Brazil, maybe it is an _American_ thing.

+john howe "We're not street, We're Boulevard"

+Tom Scott But it isn't just 'elevating', it's also 'delevating', bring you back down.

Are you kidding? You don't know the Genoese!

Cos'ha di britannico Genova?

@@ledues3336 dopo la caduta della repubblica di Genova i locali avevano chiesto di farsi annettere all'Inghilterra piuttosto che finire sotto i Savoia. Genova-Southampton era uno dei collegamenti più antichi e stabili d'Europa, da cui la Liguria otteneva il merluzzo e gli inglesi ottenevano i prodotti del mediterraneo. Genova, con l'alleanza del Regno d'Italia con il Regno Unito, si era riempita di marinai inglesi ed è per questo che il calcio è stato introdotto in Italia (casi simili sono accaduti a Torino e Milano). C'è anche un piccolo quartiere di Genova che è una Little Britain, c'è la sede della italo-britannica e così andando
