Interesting to hear about computer problems affecting platform
information. I was at Lewisham DLR at about half past two yesterday.
Train sitting in one platform, platform display saying "Stratford - 11
minutes". Empty second platform with display saying "Bank - 5 mins".
Everyone was waiting on the platform for the earlier train to come in,
when the train already there closed its doors and left, and the
display changed to "Stratford - 8 minutes". A platform full of very
annoyed customers, myself included!

Is this a long-standing problem? I don't use the DLR that much.

Quite a few weeks now. There's a bit of an explanation here

Although there's been a much longer-standing problem at some places,
where the display simply freezes (sometimes for days) while the clock
keeps working, suggesting that it's up and running, but the
information never changes.

Fingers crossed for *TowerGateway- in the best DLR tradition of
projects completed ahead of schedule.


Definite information being given out now that it's 2 March. Service

Something I didn't pick up on before is this "horseshoe" platform with
separate arrival and departure. How can that work in the space? I
obviously wasn't paying attention.

Or maybe they just mean single track, out one side and in the other
side, and a concourse at one end. That must be it. For a minute I
thought it meant trains running round somehow ...
