Yes, it's heading 'towards the city' but at least half of the passengers on the train are going elsewhere to jobs Hackney or Stratford etc. Why disrupt public transport anyway? I get what you're trying to do, but you're just alienating potential supporters.

DLR might terminate in the city but not all passengers using that line are going there! I'm trying to get to work for a charity in South London. Public transport should NOT be a target - it's part of the solution! Target the problem... #ExtinctionRebellion
