The last update of that page was mid February. In the meantime, while waiting for the page to be updated with the status of this month, I can entertain myself with some probability calculations for how likely/unlikely it is, that the north lift is currently functioning. The fact that the South lift has 100% uptime for the last 30 days, doesn't mean it didn't stop functioning today.

Yeah it's annoying, presumably there is some data coming back to somewhere. But hey at least it's not Woolwich where you know for 100% certainty that the north lift is out of service

I hear you on the Woolwich tunnel. Even more abysmal.

The fact that they can sum the trip count does witness about some kind of data coming back somewhere, but that's about it.

The page also doesn't specify if the "the last 30 days" are the last 30 days leading up to the last update of the page, or the actual last 30 calendar days, making the page information to be even less useful to base anything on, except for anecdotal observations.
