I remember a few years ago I was able to board just 1 DLR train from Lewisham straight to Stratford without having change or suffer the route 108  When did this change? Why did it change? It's not a big deal or anything, but it was nice to just have one train for less than 30 mins |

Think it changed a few years ago, but now it's only AM peak workings that do the full route (except engineering works) and are only 2 car trains

I'm most likely very wrong: the off-peak services were latterly Stratford-Crossharbour - then Stratford-Canary Wharf when 3 car trains ran to Lewisham.
Happy to be corrected.

It's not a big deal or anything, but it was nice to just have one train for less than 30 mins Changed a number of years ago. I think the reason was a desire to keep the Stratford service isolated from delays elsewhere plus a need to rebalance the fleet allocation to maximise three unit workings on Bank - Lewisham so that every train out of Lewisham offered the greatest capacity. The exception is that in the AM peak some trains do run through.

From what I can remember, there hasn't been a weekday daytime off-peak Stratford to Crossharbour service. When I first started working there (way back when the trains were formed of 2 cars and were blue), the off peak service pattern was Stratford to Lewisham and Bank to Crossharbour and Lewisham. The peak-time and late night Stratford service operated to Crossharbour. This was then cut back to Canary Wharf, along with the Bank to Crossharbour service The current off-peak service pattern with the Stratfords only going as far as Canary Wharf was to facilitate the 5- minute Bank to Lewisham service |
