I noticed that elevator was out of service last night. Does the red elevator for disabled people work?

I've asked RIOC for further details. Will update if they respond.

The red lift was working yesterday (Sunday). 
Hope they will fix the elevator soon, or take the opportunity to upgrade it (but quickly...)
