Poplar DLR station platform and bridge - in November 2021

I visited Poplar DLR station in November 2021, whilst changing lines. It is highly accessible to the bridge level via lifts. I did not exit the station to check this.
Poplar is a modern station on the highly accessible DLR line, and only 10 minutes ride from Stratford. It has a public lift from the street to the platform, and the step onto the trains from the platform is slight. This station is recommended as highly 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.
