Our hospital used to have lifts that didn't stop at floors. The had no doors, you just jump on them and get off. They were intended for staff only, to quickly get between floors so slightly out of view of the public. They were replaced a few years ago though. Mabe too many accidents?



Were they paternoster lifts? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paternoster


Yes, that's the ones. Never heard the name of them, thanks!
