Works on Greenwich Cutty Sark station
Dear Docklands Light Railway Limited,
Could you please provide the schedule of works for escalators at Cutty Sark for Maritime Greenwich DLR station?
Please provide:
- dates and details of escalators being out of service because of works
- reason and nature of the works and contractor/company hired to do the works
For avoidance of doubt, there are 4 escalators at the station. 1 and 2 go from the street level to -1 (concourse or ticket office) and then 3 and 4 go from -1 to the platform level.
Escalators are constantly put out of service for repairs and then, after a short while during which they seem to work in a clearly noisy and faulty way, they are put out of service again.
Yours faithfully,
Yonathan Sabbah

Thank you for your request received by Transport for London (TfL) on 24
January 2020 asking for information about the escalators at Cutty Sark DLR
station.
Your request has been considered in accordance with the requirements of
the Freedom of Information Act and our information access policy. I can
confirm that we hold the information you require.
DLR’s concessionaire - CGL Rail - manages the length of the DLR railway,
between Mudchute and Lewisham stations, on behalf of TfL.
Attached is a central list of all escalator outages since June 2018, and
includes the outages for the escalators at Cutty Sark station (CUS).
CGLR’s contactor for escalators is OTIS UK. Please note that an issue of
under-reporting of escalator outages affecting Cutty Sark station has been
identified, and is under internal review; as such,
it is possible that our records may be incomplete.
The escalator service levels as set out within the Concession Agreement
for CGLR is as follows:
Escalators should be serviceable for at least 98% of train service hours
in any available Period (average for total population of escalators) and
zero occurrence of all escalators
serving a platform being out of service simultaneously in addition to the
above condition (there is a grace period of 1 hour for this to be
rectified).
More detailed information can be found in the Franchise Agreement on line
([1]http://content.tfl.gov.uk/dlr-franchise-...)
and the Concession Agreement with
CGLR

Breaches of contract are reviewed periodically and penalties are imposed
where applicable.
