The Cutty Sark DLR station is undergoing a year-long closure for the installation of four new escalators due to the unreliability of the current ones. Greenwich Council has announced that these state-of-the-art escalators will enhance accessibility for the station’s 7.6 million annual passengers. Meanwhile, the council advises users to utilize nearby Greenwich station or local bus services during the closure. Additional signage will be installed to guide passengers. The improvements aim to maintain the vibrancy of Greenwich, a UNESCO World Heritage site attracting millions yearly.
The station closed at the end of the day on Saturday and is due to reopen next spring with improved access via new escalators.
Greenwich Council confirmed that the new energy-efficient escalators will provide customers with more reliable access to and from the bustling DLR station.
With millions visiting each year, Greenwich Council aims to maintain the vibrancy of the town center while the Cutty Sark station undergoes improvements.
The current escalators at Cutty Sark DLR station were deemed increasingly unreliable and beyond economical repair, prompting the year-long closure for replacement.
