King George V DLR station - in November 2021
I visited King George V DLR station in November 2021, although I admit I did not exit the station.
It is highly accessible to the bridge level via lifts. From the Bridge there are slopes down to the street.
King George V is a modern station on the highly accessible DLR
line, and only 2 minutes ride from London City Airport, and 12 minutes from
Canning Town. It
has a public lift from the bridge to the platform, and the step onto the trains
from the platform is slight. This station is recommended as accessible
for wheelchair users. Use the links below for pictures and more detail.
Underground lines : Docklands Light Railway (DLR) is a fully accessible railway for people using wheelchairs. All DLR stations have a lift or ramp access to the platforms, with level access onto the trains. All lifts have alarms enabled, which allow you to talk directly with a member of DLR staff should you experience any problems. The gap between the platform edge and the train is 7.5cm wide and the step up or down from the platform to the train is 5cm high. Most wheelchair users find getting on and off smoothest with the largest wheel first.
Lift access between street and platform.
