Star Lane DLR Station

This station is set alongside some busy roads. The platforms can only be accessed via a footbridge which connects to the roads on either side of the station. There is a lift on either side of the footbridge, at each entrance, and another lift in the centre to get to the platforms. There are also staircases with grab rails. The platforms have seating and canopies overhead, 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 platforms are joined together in the centre of two separate train tracks that are on either side of the central platforms. The DLR trains stop level with the platform with a very minimal gap between the train and the platform. The newer DLR trains provide slightly better access and have better signage to indicate the best boarding places for those in wheelchairs or with prams.
