Moving sidewalk to replace train?

Architecture company NBBJ thinks it can replace the 17-mile Circle Line loop running beneath central London with a moving sidewalk that would have three lanes, with the slowest moving at around 3 miles per hour and the fastest track moving at about 15 miles per hour right in the middle.
I kind of like the moving walkway (or Travelator) at SFO.

At 15 mph, what could go wrong?

This scientist thinks that moving walkways actually slow you down.
