Pontoon Dock DLR Station

This station is next to the Thames Barrier Park and is a level above street level. There are lifts and staircases to get from street level to the platforms. The platforms have canopies over them so they are mostly covered, but the platform is still in the open so it is not temperature controlled. There are tactile markings at the edge of the platform and there are help points to call for assistance or notify of any emergencies. The DLR trains stop level with the platform with a very minimal gap between the train and the platform. I travelled to and from this station on one of the brand new DLR trains which are white and teal instead of the previous red trains. They have a much better layout inside the carriage for wheelchair users and the buttons to open the doors are at a better height.
