Google Earth shows what looks like a open cutting on the DLR just east
of Woolwich Arsenal station. Is that correct? I thought the station
itself was quite deep.

No, north of that.

Oh that. Yeah, probably the DLR. I've only been there once but I don't
remember the station being particularly deep.

So I wonder why the DLR station isn't open to the air?

Isn't the station building above the platforms?

The station isn't particularly deep, it's only a short escalator down from SE platform level to DLR platform level. There definitely is a stretch of track that is open to the air between Woolwich Arsenal DLR and the tunnel under the river (I use the connection to get between N Kent and LCY moderately frequently).
