DLR is rendering partial operations on the Lewisham Bank Route Monday morning a death on the tracks.

According to a report by News Shopper, there is currently no trains between Canary Wharf and Lewisham after one person was hit at Elverson Road.

The situation has improved and only trains between Crossharbour and Lewisham are still being suspended, while DLR users are being advised to use another route.

"A spokesman for the British Transport Police said his death is not being treated as suspicious." News Shopper reports, after the official said: "We were called to Elverson Road Docklands Light Railway station at 9.50am on Monday, February 22 following a report of a person being struck by a train," adding "Officers are now working to identify him and inform his family."

The official said a file will be prepared for the coroner.
Met Police officers, firefighters and paramedics from the London Ambulance Service also reportedly attended.

DLR provides a very important access route to the Docklands and the Isle of Dogs, through to Bank, Stratford International and or Tower Gateway.

All other routes are operating good service, DLR tweeted saying
"Minor delays between Crossharbour and Lewisham due to an earlier customer incident. Good service on other DLR routes."
