These four units would be considered to be operating in tandem...two up and two down.
Tandem operating units must be "electrically interlocked where traffic flow is such that
bunching will occur if the escalator carrying passengers away from the intermediate landing stops."
If the second up escalator stops the first one must stop as well.
If the second down escalator stops the first one must stop as well.
