Take it from Terminals 2 and 3 or Terminal 4: those Elizabeth line trains run to Abbey Wood through Woolwich. Terminal 5's trains run to Shenfield, and TfL's planner sends those passengers via Stratford and the Jubilee line, three trains.

TfL counts the nine-minute walk between Woolwich station and Woolwich Arsenal DLR station as part of the trip. At some hours its planner leaves the Elizabeth line at Canary Wharf for a short walk to Poplar and the DLR instead.

Journey

75–101 min

Change at Farringdon: TfL's planner allows as little as four minutes between the trains, so a missed change costs a quarter of an hour. The Thameslink leg is longer in the evening and at weekends, up to an hour.

The coach is cheaper (from £14.90) and quicker, but it runs on a timetable of its own and can sell out.
