Docklands Light Railway

The DLR connects with the Tube network at Bank and Tower Gateway (Tower Hill) stations and also at Shadwell, Stratford, Bow, Heron Quays, Canning Town and Canary Wharf. The DLR serves Beckton, Stratford and London City Airport to the East and North East and the Docklands, Greenwich and Lewisham to the South.

The DLR runs from 5.30am to 12.30am Monday to Saturday and from 7am to 11.30pm on Sunday. Fares are the same as those on the Tube and Travelcard holders can use the DLR. 

Docklands Light Railway - Accessibility information

All DLR stations have lift or ramp access to the platforms, with level access onto the trains. All lifts have alarms enabled, which allow you to talk directly with a member of DLR staff should you experience any problems.

Platforms are as level with trains as possible for easy access. The gap between the platform edge and the train is approximately 7.5cm wide and the step up/down from the platform to the train approximately 5cm high. These levels allow easy access for most passengers but you should nevertheless take care when boarding and alighting, particularly with a wheelchair, crutches, a walking stick or pushchair. Most wheelchair users find boarding/alighting smoothest with the largest wheel first – this may mean reversing as appropriate.
