I don't know if it's related to this, but I can't force the TfL
journey planner to give me a change from Northern to DLR at Bank (eg
Kings Cross to southern end of DLR).
Ticking via Bank it still sends me to London Bridge and Jubilee, and
if I try to trick it with via Shadwell, it sends me to Tower Gateway.
Given that that particular interchange involves walking down a
staircase, there really does seem to be a concerted effort to deny the
existence of Bank, no matter what inconvenience is caused. *Like I've
said before, if all stations were treated like Bank, the whole of
central London LU would be permanently closed.
On a Saturday a couple of weeks back, when the Jubilee line was off, I
asked Journey Planner how to get from White City to Canary Wharf. Its
suggestion was to alight at St Paul's, take a 25 to Monument, and then
walk back to Bank station. I gleefully ignored it, and changed from
the Central Line to the DLR at Bank.
