NEW REVISED TIMETABLE AS DLR WOOLWICH ARSENAL OPENS The extension of the Docklands Light Railway from King George V under the River Thames to Woolwich Arsenal opened on Saturday 10th January, with a new revised timetable commencing operation on the same day. The timetable now in operation remains a “modified” service because of an intensive period of upgrade works before a return to a full timetable in the spring.
The new Woolwich Arsenal station completes the London City Airport line and has two platforms but is unfortunately located underground. The DLR station is located next to the national rail station with two entrances (Green’s End and Woolwich New Road). The majority of services from Woolwich Arsenal will initially go to Bank (with a few peak extras as far as Blackwall).
The revised service will see the following frequencies on Mondays to Fridays: Further details of the timetable is available on the official DLR website here – this is a PDF file.
