Major disruption across the line from today
Strike by workers on the DLR begins today. Earlier the entire line was expected to stop, however this morning TfL said a limited service is operating between Beckton and Poplar, and Canning Town and London City Airport.
The walkout, over a range of issues including an alleged “comprehensive breakdown in industrial relations,” means DLR trains are being halted from 4am today until 03.59am on Friday, 30 March.
The RMT has announced 48hr strike action on the DLR this Wednesday. To find out more: https://t.co/3ZWIVKGu9c pic.twitter.com/A6aSX8UdCb

Transport for London has said that an extra 49 buses will be operating along key DLR routes.
How is there a DLR strike?
The trains don’t have any fucking drivers

The shock of commuters realising that they have to walk 5 mins to Canary Wharf as the bus is diverted due to gridlocked streets #dlr#lol#getrealpeople
