"The station is also much brighter, not just because the escalators have rows of lights and the ceiling lamps are brighter, but also because it's been whitewashed."
"The pale blue, rather cold panels have been replaced with white panels, which reflect light much better and have a noticeable effect on the station's appearance."
"TfL inherited the station from a PFI deal in 2021 and had been struggling to maintain the four old escalators until it finally decided that replacement was the only option."
"Cutty Sark, which is right in Greenwich town centre, was used by 7.6 million passengers in 2023, making it the DLR's third busiest station after Canary Wharf and Limehouse."
Cutty Sark DLR station reopened after ten months of closure, featuring new escalators and enhanced lighting. The station's interior has been whitewashed, replacing cold pale blue panels with brighter white ones that improve light reflection. Although the escalators remain narrow, access has improved due to the removal of old barriers. The lift has been replaced with a brighter interior. The station, inherited by TfL in 2021, was closed for renovations from May 31, 2025, to March 23, 2026, and served 7.6 million passengers in 2023.
