Tube Strike? Is the DLR running?

I was meant to travel to London on Wednesday but with the Tube strike don't know if it is ok to go. Does anyone know if the DLR will be impacted by the strike. I have looked on the website but cannot find anything that says it is or it isn't? So can anyone help?

Looks like you might be ok.

If the strike goes ahead the DLR will run normally as will the Jubilee, Northern and Piccadilly lines.

DLR will be operating, but it will be very busy.

Thanks for the quick reply. At least I can use the DLR to get into the city.

I just got this email from TFL. I really just confirms what everone else has been saying

Metronet strike affecting Tube services from this afternoon until end of Thursday 6 September

We continue to work to avoid the strike by Metronet staff.

If the strike goes ahead, it will affect services from this afternoon's peak period. If possible, please complete your journey by 1700 this evening or use alternative routes, including DLR, National Rail and bus services.

The Jubilee, Northern and Piccadilly lines are the only lines expected to operate normally. We anticipate that they will be very crowded.

Services may not return to normal until Friday morning, unless the strike is resolved.

Please check local news, travel reports or visit tfl.gov.uk for the latest information.

Yours sincerely,

Tim O'Toole
