Still on escalators everywhere, if you're standing, you stand on the right. If you're passing, you pass on the left.

In Tokyo it's common to stand on the left and pass on the right.

And opposite in Western Japan!
That's not related to left-hand traffic though, right? You also overtake other cars on the left when driving in right-hand traffic.
Everywhere as everywhere in Sweden?

I'd guess in London it's the opposite (has been a while, cannot remember).

In London on the tube escalators you stand on the right and pass on the left.
The escalators in London had signs with "please stand right" the times I've been there.
