Mr. Cox
To ask the Secretary of State for Transport what was the number of escalators and lifts that were not working at London Underground stations on 7 January.
Mr. Freeman
On 7 January London Underground recorded that 35 of its 274 escalators were out or service. Of these, six were withdrawn for replacement, 11 for planned maintenance and 18 as a result of defects. In addition, eight of its 68 lifts were out of service. Of these four are being replaced and four were defective.
