I think not. The DLR timetable is consistent with the DLR map: Beckton
trains serve only the stations to Tower Gateway.

Has it always been that way?

Pass.


I had the impression that the services previously alternated between the
two destinations, but I could be wrong.

Thanks.

The DLR does have a very flexible network, with good, grade-separated
options at Canning Town and Poplar. As its catchment areas develop, it's
easy to change the service patterns to meet demand.
