The Oyster card validatoris on the DLR platforms at Bank are set to
"enter" only, and the posters (not just the stickers) say that only
pre-pay holders need to use them, and only when starting their DLR
journey. I still can't really see why they are necessary...

Is it possible to get from street level to the DLR platforms without passing
a barrier by using the lift?

Don't the stairs and travelator from the W&C platforms emerge in the
ticket hall on the street side of the barriers? (I could be wrong, I
hardly ever use them).
Given that there are now no barriers in the foot-tunnel between the W&C
platforms and the LUL part of the station (and even when there were,
they were rarely in use) it would be possible to get to the DLR that
way.
