A Bit Of An Oddity

Uneven and impractical death stairs with narrow ramps that make taking the stairs a dangerous and difficult option.

These stairs are located in an area adjacent to Stavanger bus and railway station. I’m sure I don’t have to tell you that Stavanger is in Norway. Please note, there is an adjacent lift out of shot to the left which I believe was built around 20 years ago. You can see the issue.

The lower staircase in stone has steps for pushing a stroller or buggy. But the upper staircase does not have such steps. Please also note, I am aware that there are bolt holes in the upper stairway. So did the original stone staircase extend all the way to the top without a break? Whatever, why does the upper staircase in metal not have steps for pushing a stroller or buggy? This is really bugging me – no pun intended.

I have one working theory: they decided to replace the upper staircase with a metal staircase around the time they installed the lift. Someone said “bugger that” – we’re not going to install steps on this new section because people can now use the lift. But what if the lift breaks down? I believe this is the first and last time I will ever use buggy, bugging and bugger in the same post.
