Can somebody with a pass take the tube to Earls Court then take buses
to Shadwell then take the DLR to King George?



Yes.

74 Earls Ct - Baker St
205 Baker St - Liverpool St
100 Liverpool St - Shadwell
is probably the route with least changes. I'm sure someone can come up
with a more exciting variation.



I'll raise you...

74 Earl's Court - Marble Arch
15 Marble Arch - Shadwell


That one takes a while but it is easy, especially with lots of luggage.

But if the only intension is to avoid Tube/DLR in zone 1, then I would
probably have done something like this instead:

74 Earl's Court - Hyde Park Corner
148 Hyde Park Corner - Elephant & Castle
45/63/100 Elephant & Castle - Southwark
Jubilee Southwark - Canning Town
DLR Canning Town - King George V

I *think* this might be one of the quickest ones on most times of the
day. But with lots of luggage the bus change at Hyde Park Corner,
especially in rush hours, would not be something funny... As an
alternative one may consider bus 360 South Kensington - Elephant &
Castle instead. South Kensington is also a piece of complicated bus stop
layout but it does not include as far walks for interchange as Hyde Park
Corner does.
