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.
Update: Ended up chancing it, north lift was of course out of order. They have a LED panel at the elevator entrance at both the north and the south lift entrance that states the status of both the north and south lift. Why can't they publish that status on their website? If that's too hard, set up a live camera feed of that display, and embed that feed on the website.
The LED panel is also frequently wrong.
Classic.
