Dutch railway station installs 'transfer accelerator'

Now there's no excuse to miss the train at the Overvecht Station in Holland.



The newly installed "transfer accelerator" allows commuters to quickly descend the station stairs and access platforms.

At night the slide is said to play music from Bach.

The creation has designed by HIK Ontwerpers as part of their ongoing urban installations series.

Cool idea. I wonder how long it'll take for the first drunken bastard to urinate into it.

I love the name, "Transfer Accelerator" sounds so much better than "slide"
