It's the station with the longest name on the TfL network — and Cutty Sark (for Maritime Greenwich) has been closed for a looong time too: 10 months, in fact.
However, next Monday — 23 March 2026 — the station will reopen, having been fitted with four brand new escalators and a lift. TfL says the station has also been made "brighter, easier to navigate, and more enjoyable to use", and — get this — the works have been completed earlier than anticipated, meaning it'll be up and running ahead of the Easter holidays and the London Marathon (for which this part of London is a popular vantage point).
A new artwork has also been installed in the station, in collaboration with Visit Greenwich, celebrating the local area.
Now's a good time to mention that passengers don't have long left to make the most of a free travel loophole on two sections of the DLR, set to end in April.
In other travel news, six days of Tube strikes have been announced for March, April and May. Though the DLR shouldn't be directly affected, there may be knock-on effects.
