FYI: TFL has launched a six-month trial called Access DLR to help make journeys on the DLR more accessible


Recommended Posts

'We have launched a six-month trial called Access DLR to help make journeys on the DLR more accessible.

This pre-booked assistance is available seven days a week, between 07:00 and 19:00 each day for anyone aged 18 and over.

Access DLR is for anyone who needs support to travel. No proof of disability is required to use the service. 

You will be met by a member of staff at the DLR station of your choice and accompanied until you reach the final DLR station on your journey. 

Assistance can be booked online or by phone on 08082 81 66 55 (call charges may apply).

As the DLR stations are not staffed, the service needs to be pre-booked. If it is not pre-booked, assistance cannot be guaranteed. This is initially being run as a trial until November 2024. You can find out more about Access DLR on our website

Every station on the DLR has step-free access.'

    • Thanks! I'll find out in a few weeks when I get the results! It was one of those disconcerting things where a disembodied voice keeps booming  at you to breathe in and hold it, then breathe normally. Apart from that it was OK, all completely painless. I imagine there will be quite a few people going from ED, though I presume it covers the whole Southwark area 
    • Two men behind ‘senseless’ felling of Sycamore Gap tree jailed for more than four years Good to see these two jailed today for four years. There’s something deeply disturbing about people who destroy trees—any tree. Whether it’s a centuries-old landmark or a sapling in a quiet park, trees are living beings that offer beauty, shade, and life. The men who cut down the Sycamore Gap tree are a stark example of how far some people will go to lash out at something peaceful and meaningful. People who harm nature like this aren’t just destructive—they are often deeply unhappy. It takes a troubled mind to look at a tree and see something to ruin instead of something to protect.

    • What a brilliant idea. I hope it went OK, Sue. 
    • Yes, the appointments were scheduled for every ten minutes. And there is no waiting area at all this time  (sometimes for medical checks there they have a very small area inside with 3 or 4 seats). If you have come by public transport, you have to sit on the steps up to the van if you are early,  which isn't pleasant in very hot sun or pouring rain, or else wander round Asda (there's no cafe in Asda, despite it supposedly being a superstore). It's one in, one out. I don't know what happens if you are late, but I doubt they would hold up everybody who came after you in order to fit you in.  There was someone immediately before me and someone immediately after me. That's what I did in the end , so thank you for that.  I gritted my teeth and got some exercise. It wasn't as bad as I expected 😀 I did get a 37 from Nigel Road back to Goose Green on the return journey, though!
