Wikipedia
tells us about the DLR system:
"The Docklands Light Railway (the
DLR) is an automated light metro or light rail system opened in 1987 to serve
the redeveloped Docklands area of London. It reaches north to Stratford, south
to Lewisham, west to Tower Gateway and Bank in the City of London financial
district, and east to Beckton, London City Airport and Woolwich
Arsenal.
The system is not entirely
unmanned: it uses minimal staffing on board trains and at major interchange
stations; the 4 sub-surface stations are staffed to comply with underground
station requirements. Similar proposals have been made for the adjacent system,
the Tube.
The DLR is operated under a
concession awarded by Transport for London to Serco Docklands, part of the Serco
Group. The system is owned by Docklands Light Rail Limited,[7] part of the
London Rail division of Transport for London. In 2011 the DLR carried over 86
million passengers. It has been extended several times and further extensions
are being planned."

The station is located between
Greenwich and Elverson Road stations, and is on the boundary of Travelcard Zone
2 and 3. It is sited in the Royal Borough of Greenwich and is very close to the

The station layout consists of two
elevated side platforms which run roughly north-south over the A2 road and
parallel to the River Ravensbourne.

reconstructed and considerably enhanced when it was extended to enable it 3-car
trains to call at it."
