The Docklands Light Railway (DLR) has disruptions to its service amidst Storm Henk.

The DLR line has stopped its usual service at stations between Canary Wharf and Lewisham after Transport for London (TfL) said there was an obstruction reported on the tracks at Heron Quays. 

Services between Poplar, Bank and Tower Gateway have been affected and users are advised of "severe delays", according to TfL.

The nature of the obstruction has not yet been confirmed.

Winds of around 50mph have been recorded across London, as commuters have been warned by the Met Office of travel disruptions due to "a spell of very windy weather, accompanied by heavy rain in places". 

The London Underground is now accepting tickets, and service on other DLR routes is reported as good according to TfL.
