DOCKLANDS Light Railway (DLR) services between Lewisham and Canary Wharf are not running today.

This is because work is taking place to make platforms longer so three carriage trains can be introduced from 2010.

Replacement bus services are operating between Lewisham and North Greenwich, Lewisham and Canary Wharf (via Cutty Sark and North Greenwich) and Westferry and Island Gardens.

Passengers need to have a ticket which is valid on the DLR before boarding a bus.

Any disabled passengers who are unable to use the replacement bus service should call DLR customer services on 020 7363 9700 for further advice.

DLR services will operate between Bank and King George V, Stratford and Canary Wharf and between Poplar and Beckton today.

Anyone who wants to find an alternative route to avoid the disruption can call 020 7222 1234 or use Transport for London's online journey planner
