The only good thing one can say about the Foot Tunnel is that it is attractively lit at night. This does not compensate for incompetent management. Repairs are temporary and have to be returned to again and again. Is there a management plan, an intention to replace the lifts for

TfL A year seams a long time to install escalators Also, are you in liaison with Greenwich Council to make sure alternatives (such as the foot tunnel and lifts) are fully operational while Cutty Sark DLR station is closed?

Good question about alternative river crossings. We asked Caroline Russell to help out because management of these crucial commuter links is appalling! Her question 👇 to Mayor of London, Sadiq Khan this month. We hope to get an answer soon

Hi TfL. The beautiful posters you see below have been hidden away from public view since last year. What a waste of money! How about transferring them up to Greenwich DLR platforms? #111PlacesGreenwich

Cutty Sark DLR closes today 31st May and we look forward to seeing better signage for passengers/visitors alighting from Greenwich DLR to our UNESCO World Heritage Site. It’s dire at the moment (unlike the rather striking DLR sign).

And so it begins. On this first day of closure there was a very friendly and informative member of staff outside. She did say there was the option to walk through the foot tunnel to Island Gardens DLR - we explained the lifts are often out of order in that tunnel. TfL we’re

Original story was that the nearly £200K money pot was to assist the safety of women and girls and those with sight problems who found the level changes in Cutty Sark Gardens difficult.  Funny how the only thing delivered so far has no bearing on any of that. Can Grok clarify

“There are plenty of ways to get to Greenwich Town Centre”. This includes *walking* via 2 exits but signage is poor on one and non-existent on the other. We offered to design directional signage but TfL declined.

Up to date info is seriously lacking & TfL are under the impression Royal Borough of Greenwich have live-tracking (TfL response to us via Caroline Russell, London Assembly, below👇). This is simply not the case! There's currently 4k users of the Greenwich Foot Tunnel & numbers will
