London Docklands Light Railway

The toy-like driverless cabs of this elevated railway provide a vital link in the transport network of East London. Obvious physical differences aside, the network is basically an extension of the Tube, with the same tickets and pricing structure; with a valid ticket, you can transfer from Tube to DLR at no charge. Travelers visiting both Greenwich and Docklands in one day should inquire about Rail and Sail tickets. For costumer service, call ☎020 7363 9700 (M-F 8:30am-5:30pm); for the Docklands travel hotline, call ☎020 7918 4000 (24hr.).
