Cutty Sark station, the third-busiest on the Docklands Light Railway (DLR), will close to replace all four of its escalators, estimated to cost £4 million. Opened in 1999, the station's escalators have been out of service, forcing passengers to navigate 121 steps. Transport for London (TfL), responsible since 2021, is finalizing a timeline for the closure. DLR's general manager acknowledged the impact on customers and confirmed funding for escalator replacement. The station served 7.6 million passengers in 2023, highlighting its significance in the DLR network, which has faced broader operational challenges recently.
We are sorry about the continuing issues with the escalators at Cutty Sark, which we appreciate are having significant impact on customers who use the station.
We have secured funding to replace the escalators and are working through plans that will restore a full escalator service at the station.
