DLR services are expected to shut down for 48 hours during the strike that will start tomorrow.

The Rail Maritime and Transport Union has announced a 48-hour strike on the Dockland Lights Railway (DLR) services starting on Wednesday.

Major lines are expected to be busier than ever due to the strike action held on the DLR service starting tomorrow.

The strike action is set to take place from 04:00 on Wednesday 28 March until 04:00 Friday 30 March, and will possibly affect services on Good Friday morning.

The strike will see a complete shut down of the DLR services and commuters are advised to find other alternatives for travelling and leave plenty of time for travelling.

TfL have added an additional 49 buses along key DLR routes to aid commuters in travelling.

Lines such as Jubilee, Hammersmith & City, Central and District lines are expected to be especially busy during the 48-hour strike action.

Those headed to City Airport are advised to take the Jubilee line to Canning Town and then a bus from there.

TfL ambassadors are expected to be on hand to help commuters find alternative routes during the strike.
