1 week agoSeven shades of green: the DLR's quietly complicated network
The Docklands Light Railway consists of seven internal routes, despite being represented as three lines on the public map.
Fare evasion is set to get harder on the Docklands Light Railway (DLR) as the operator steps up ticket inspections on trains. As most of the DLR stations don't have ticket barriers, there's a certain level of trust that people tend to do the right thing and pay for transport, and the vast majority do pay to take a ride on the DLR.
Our members are doing a fantastic job to keep our capital moving and work strenuous shift patterns to make sure Londoners get to their destinations around the clock. They are not after a King's ransom, but fatigue and extreme shift rotations are serious issues impacting on our members health and wellbeing- all of which have not been adequately addressed for years by LU management.
