I will test it later today.


It was (and I even had a legitimate reason for using it!)

Very exciting ride in the tunnel under the Thames; much better than
the ride to Bank.

Some confusion at Woolwich Arsenal. I touched out at the DLR exit to
the mainlane platforms and then looked for a ticket machine or
similar, couldn't find one, found the exit for the mainline platforms
and then tried to touch out. Didn't work, of course (my travelcard is
z1234), so I had to plead to be let out by the people manning the
gateline. Then I got my WA-boundary zone 3 ticket and was on my
way...

I assume there is a street entrance for the DLR I was supposed to exit
at so I could then walk on the street to the NR ticket office. I bet
they'll have lots of people making the same mistake I did, though.
