The Millennium Bridge Inclinator certainly seems to have had more than
it's fair share of troubles (unless of course having lots of troubles is
the fair share that an inclined lift gets). It was out of action for
ages until perhaps a couple of years ago (bit hazy on the timeline).

Didn't it get a complete rebuild because it would have been
embarrassing for it not to be working for the Olympics or more
vitally the Paralympics. Without those events it may have been left
broken.

Perhaps it would have been cheaper to employ a couple of rickshaw
wallahs for the duration of the Paralympics. Do we know if anyone
actually used the lift during the Paralympics?
