It's a curved escalator. They are fairly common around the world.

I suppose if you built an escalator around the world it would have to be curved.

False. The earth is flat, so an escalator around the world would be an airport-style moving sidewalk.

There are 90 in the entire world given there is only one manufacturer - don't know if I'd call that fairly common

I think there's more than just 90 and more than one manufacturer. Either that or the escalators are stalking me.

Having travelled around the world for years and never knew they existed before this post, I'd say they're quite rare.

I've travelled quite extensively and every so often I see curved escalators.
