Using Oyster on DLR
When using pay as you go, you must touch your Oyster card on the yellow reader as you enter the station at the start of a journey and again when you exit the station at the end of the journey. Remember to listen for the single beep and look for the green light.
If you don't touch in and out correctly you may be charged a maximum cash fare and you may be liable for a penalty fare. You must show your Oyster card to a member of staff when asked.
If you are joining DLR at Bank and are planning to use pay as you go to travel outside of your Travelcard zones, you must touch your Oyster card on the reader on the DLR concourse to ensure you have a valid ticket to travel on DLR.
