DLR strike called on 28 & 29 Jan, will affect LCY [currently on hold]

Just got this email from TfL (my own emphasis added):

I am writing to let you know that the RMT union have called a 48-hour strike on the Docklands Light Railway (DLR) on Wednesday 28 and Thursday 29 January. If the strike goes ahead, it is unlikely that any DLR services will operate during these times. Services should operate as normal again on Friday.

Enhanced bus services will operate on key DLR routes. Replacement bus services will also run between the following places to connect DLR customers to the Tube network:

  • Beckton and Canning Town
  • Canning Town, King George V and London City Airport
  • Lewisham and North Greenwich via Greenwich Town centre

We expect all of our other services to operate normally but they will be busier than usual, so customers who have flexibility are advised to avoid the busiest times if they can.
