99.9% Vintage 🛗 Express Lift traction elevator 🛗- Duke of Cornwall Hotel, Plymouth England

4 November 2021. This is my first vintage elevator ride in the UK. I found a lot of Express Lifts in Plymouth and this is one of them. It’s a very cool mid-century elevator with the loud relays.

Beautiful Lift/Elevator!

Very awesome, shame it isn't fully original though. Seems like it's had its controller replaced, but I can't tell what by. Very different display for sure! I like how the windows have curves instead of corners too.

You say that you found a lot of Express lifts in Plymouth. Do you have any videos of the others? I don’t think they have been filmed before by anyone else, and I’d be interested to see them!

[@Lift.Tracker]

Hey, I’m going to Plymouth very soon. Would you mind letting me know any other old Express lift locations? I saw you say that you found a few of them.

Not sure what to think about all that labelling they put over the fixtures, but this is certainly an excellent example of Express. Alliteration... not intended.

its vintage apart from the voice which has been added

[@Lift.Tracker]

Such a nice find! Is the levelling 2 speed?

[@Snorkitty]

To my memory it was 2 speed

[@Lift.Tracker]

@@Snorkitty It was modernised with a VF drive actually. Still really nice that they left everything else though!

[@elevatorsinnz]

Don’t like the fact that that the voice is there for some reason

Does the lift still exist?
