Stratford to Deptford Bridge         


Date: May 26, 2008 08:15

I need to get from Stratford to Deptford Bridge tomorrow, TfL website
seems to imply taking the DLR and changing at Canary wharf, does the
DLR not run direct from Stratford to Deptford Bridge?
I've not used the DLR before but the map seems to imply a nice simple
direct line.

Most Stratford trains terminate at Canary Wharf during the day. They
continue to Crossharbour during the peaks, and Lewisham in early
mornings or late evenings.

There are times when Staford trains don't run through, but it's not
quite like that, plus they keep changing the pattern anyway.

At the moment some of them (but not all) run through in the early
morning on weekdays till the end of the rush hour.

They also run all through the day at weekends, but not in the evenings
at all in the current pattern.

This PDF gives what you need.

I reckon you may not have to change.
They are doing emergency engineering work on a bridge which will mean
that trains to or from Bank or Tower Gateway will not be able to run
via Canary Wharf.

They're replacing the siding with a third platform.

They're creating a diveunder where trains that currently use the
southbound track of the West Curve will be diverted underneath the
East Curve, coming up alongside West India Quay station on its east
side (rejoining too late to have a platform there, in fact). The
northernmost part of the West Curve needs demolishing to achieve this,
so it makes sense for them to keep trains as far to the other side as
possible.

Goodness - that looks like the planned engineering works has not gone to
plan at all. I guess the weather has knocked them off schedule. The
alternative train service is a bit different - Bank to King George V
every *4* minutes.

I trust someone is busily rewriting the computer's timetable as we
speak!

STRATFORD - LEWISHAM: Every 5 minutes
CANARY WHARF - LEWISHAM: Every 10 minutes
TOWER GATEWAY - BECKTON: Every 7 minutes
BANK - KING GEORGE V: Every 4 minutes

I think this is the best STRATFORD - LEWISHAM and BANK - KING GEORGE V
services ever. They should keep it this way ;-)
