Silly DLR Question
 

Are there direct DLR services from Stratford to Lewisham, or will I need
to change?

Sorry if this is a silly question, but I can't find a definitive answer
anywhere.

(Also can anyone advise how long that trip would be likely to take?)

Thanks.

For most of the day there are probably through trains, but when there
aren't, there is always an easy, same or cross-platform change if it
terminates at Canary Wharf or Crossharbour.

I think it takes about 35 minutes.

Thanks both. Looks like I might be better off getting the Jubilee Line
down to Canary Wharf and DLR to Lewisham from there.

No, just get the DLR and change at Canary Wharf.

Definitely. Why do a huge change with a long walk to a separate
station when you can do it cross-platform or same-platform?

Because I thought there were no DLR trains during the day from Stratford
to Canary Wharf, due to misreading the temporary timetable. What a
terribly ambiguous document. I'm still not certain I understand it.

Yes, it seems to show frequencies of a particular journey being done,
as opposed to the total frequency between two points. You have to add
them up. I think it's consistent in doing it that way, and in some
ways it's a Good Thing in that it describes how the service works, but
probably not what one is used to.

You're right about the document being terrible. If you look at the four
Stratford rows together, you see that from 6:30 to 19:30 there is always a 5
minute service from Stratford to Canary or further.

I was caught out yesterday by the DLR closure at Bank. If I'd seen any
advance information about this, then it hadn't registered.
