I've just received the email from the DLR stating that the entire system will be closed on the 11th and 12th of February due to signalling upgrade work.
Now I know from previous discussions on here a bit about the signalling upgrades, but this closure seems to have sprung from nowhere. As recently as about a week ago there was nothing shown (at least nothing affecting the Beckton-Canning Town stretch) on the journey planner (I'm meeting my sister and cousin on the Saturday, and I was late due to DLR replacement buses last time they were in London, so I was explicitly looking at that weekend).
So why has the need to close the entire network come about so suddenly?
(As an aside, the email also notes the Woolwich Ferry will be suspended that weekend as well, does anyone know why?)
