Has a British speak seen this?

Has a british speaker seen this sort of escalator?

In supermarket, have you seen this type of escalator?

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moving_walkway

This is an excerpt from the link above.
The carts have either a brake that is automatically applied when the cart handle is released, strong magnets in the wheels to stay adhered to the floor, or specially designed wheels that secure the cart within the grooves of the ramp, so that wheeled items travel alongside the riders and do not slip away.

Here is a picture of the escalator


Have you ever seen those grooves in Britain?

Thanks you

Hello, I have found a quick explanation on wikipedia under inclined moving walkways.

Could you tell me if the underlined parts are correct?

The first moving walkway – or "travelator" – in Britain was apparently installed in 1960.
