A monitoring system for an inclined passenger conveyor having a transportation band for conveying passengers between a lower landing region and an upper landing region; an endless drive member on which the transportation band is mounted, and at least one moving hand rail. The monitoring system includes at least one fault detection sensor, provided on a movable component of the inclined passenger conveyor; an associated pressure sensor provided adjacent to and associated with the or each fault detection sensor; and a controller. The or each associated pressure sensor is configured to measure the barometric pressure at a current position of its associated fault detection sensor.
