What happens at Stratford?


I meant that, although all three stations are different, at Greenwich
and Woolwich you can't end your DLR journey at the main station exit,
but have to end it before leaving the DLR area, whereas at Stratford
you can end your DLR journey at the main NR/LU exit.


All would be solved in general if the DLR paid more attention to the
siting of pads, but I don't know if they are missable at Woolwich.


As I recall, they're located at the exits from the DLR station
building on to the NR platforms. Since there are escalators that take
you straight to the DLR station exit gatelines, you wouldn't normally
pass them unless you deliberately headed for the NR platforms.


Is this the first/only DLR gateline in the system, ie a gateline
that's not already there for LU? Does it also work as an exit gate
for NR tickets if you head out that way?
