a ticket office available. I imagine the same goes for a lot of unmanned
stations on the DLR.

But on London Underground the station would always be staffed, and the
station staff could help anyone who is having trouble using the ticket
machines, and as I said earlier, make sure that they are in working
order and adequately stocked with change.


Well it depends where the staff are. If they're standing near the ticket
machine then sure. If they're down on the platform then what are you
supposed to do? Shout loudly? Jump over the barriers to go and get them?
