Docklands Light Rail Information

Added: 27 January 2009 | Updated: 17 March 2009

The Docklands Light Railway (DLR) runs to East London from Bank or Tower Gateway stations.
Built in the 1980’s, it was designed as the first fully accessible railway in the UK, providing easy access for disabled and older people.

All DLR stations have lift or ramp access to the platforms and relatively level access to the trains.
The gap between the platform edge and the train is around 7.5cm and the step up or down between platform and train is around 5cm.

Maps of the DLR along with Tube and Train connections can be found here:
