The reason given last night for the closure of Bank DLR station was

closed all too often these days which is a pain while Tower Gateway is
closed and there is no East London Line from Shadwell.

You are correct in your assumption. Repair work overran.

I went to WTM at ExCel on Wednesday, by DLR from Canning Town - they
were running a shuttle from the Beckton line turning around at Canning
Town, and the on-train indicators were showing Canning Town trains as
going to Beckton! But it worked well enough - there are always plenty
of platform staff with loudhailers telling people to get on. There was
also a free shuttle bus from ExCel to Canning Town.

I think that's normal while Tower Gateway is closed.

Then they should be able to get the destination indicators right.
