DLR isn't Underground


True... although at Bank, Island Gardens, and Cutty Sark it is

underground.

Obviously Bank is staffed... are the other two?


Yes, they must be. They are known as "Section 12" stations after the law
which controls underground stations. Even Liverpool St BR is a Secton 12
station and must always be manned or closed.

It's the size of a county and it comes every two and a half minutes
