    Shadwell Station: DLR Line

    This DLR station has two platforms which are located above street level. From this DLR station you can get services to Lewisham, Woolwich Arsenal, Tower Gateway and Bank DLR stations. There is a large stone archway with a large teal sign over it with the name of the station, “Shadwell”, which is easy to see from street level. As you walk through the archway, there are some ticket machines on the left, a lift on the right and past the ticket machines, on the left, two flights of stairs going up to the platforms. The two platforms are connected to each other; this means that there is one central platform area with trains stopping on either side. There is one lift that travels between the platforms and street level, and two flights of stairs. The platforms have tactile markings at the edge of the platform, overhead digital information signs, seats and large help points.
