Brand New TKE Tugela Escalators - Yogyakarta Tugu Station, Yogyakarta, ID

According to a TKE Indonesia salesperson whom I often chatted with him, these are officially the FIRST ever TKE Tugela installations in Indonesia along with the ones at Purwokerto Station. These escalators are located in an old underground tunnel from 1959 which has been recently renovated for convenient access between the platforms and exit. The tunnel itself was (re)opened in mid 2023.
It's really nice to see something different from TKE this time because normally we would always get the usual Velino model, but as this is a train station I think it makes more sense that Kereta Api Indonesia (KAI) chose a slightly more heavy dutier escalator instead of conventional type commonly used for commercial application. Notice how these escalators look slightly robust and "bolder" compared to Velino, because the Tugela is a medium duty escalator type positioned between Velino and Victoria (the latter is a heavy duty type for high demanding traffic). The LED direction indicators and green skirt lights are also nice which I like. Overall these are really nice escalators in the city's main and historic train station, and I'm glad to have filmed these.
