Trains enter from the depots at Poplar and Beckton, and form shuttles that operate between Bank and Lewisham, Stratford and Canary Wharf, Tower Gateway and Beckton, and Stratford International and Woolwich Arsenal. To keep the railway operable each service consists of just two shuttles, one starting at one end of the section and the other at the other end. On the real DLR there are many shuttle services operating at the same time, but eight are enough for a single signaller to cope with, especially at busy junctions.

Timetable

In the included timetable, two services operate on each of the following routes:
