I don't think the Bank to Beckton trains are timetabled ones (I may be
wrong)
They just happen every so often for operational reasons I guess and when
there is engineering work.


I think there are one or two timetabled during the peaks.


There are some trains that run in service from Gallions Reach to Bank
at the beginning of Peak hours and from Bank to Gallions Reach at the
end of Peak Hours as they manoeuver(sp?) to/from Beckton depot. These
aren't timetable AFAIK.

Services between City Airport and Lewisham will only begin once the
Woolwich Arsenal extension opens; until then, services will run
between Bank and King George V.

The new maps show the route of the extension as being Kings George V to
Shadwell.

Bank is already at capacity, or close to capacity (or rather the
Bank/Tower Gateway junction is) with the Lewisham services I doubt
they'd be able to fit any more in there and they can't take any out as
the trains are crowded as it is.

The information I have is from DLR themselves, so I'm pretty certain
trains will run into Bank. I don't think the junction at Royal Mint St
is at capacity right now; it certainly can't handle the anticipated
increase in demand for DLR services in a few years' time, which is why
3-unit trains will be introduced.
