Shadwell
On 3rd and 4th December 2022, with the Lewisham section of the DLR closed and replacement bus services running from Westferry to Island Gardens, some trains from Bank were diverted to Stratford to replace the usual service on that branch to and from Canary Wharf. This is the view from unit 72 on the 'special' service approaching its first stop at Shadwell, on the afternoon of Saturday, 3rd. Presumably from Island Gardens, people used the 1902 foot tunnel under the Thames to Greenwich and then had to find their own way to Lewisham as there was no mention of any replacement buses between the two south of the river. DLR trains from Bank to Woolwich Arsenal and from Tower Gateway to Beckton were not affected. (The C2C line to and from Fenchurch Street is on the left.)
