SERVICES on the DLR from Lewisham will be suspended due to planned works at the weekend.

The programme of work will affect all routes on the DLR except Canning Town to King George V and Beckton on September 27 and 28.

A replacement bus service will operate between Canary Wharf and Lewisham, via the Cutty Sark in Greenwich.

A ticket or Oyster card valid on the DLR is required before boarding the bus.

And passengers are advised to allow extra time for their journey during these works.

Service changes will also be in place on September 25 and 26 - including an early closure on September 26 from 10.30pm.

Transport for London apologise for the inconvenience and said the ongoing work to extend platforms will allow three-carriage trains to be introduced from 2010.
