Actually, it it an overground system connecting East London to the London Underground network. WOMAM:That sounds nice. How often does the DLR depart from airport station? MAM: About every 8 to 15 minutes. You only need to make a transferring stop at Stratford and you will be there after another station. Of course, there always will be other option to get you there. For example, you may rent a car right here at the airport. WOMAN: Well. I don't have a valid driver's license. MAN: In that case, you could also take airport shuttle or train. Or, you can ask a favor from your friend. Do you have a friend or relative nearby? Because you may ask I them to pick you up at the forecourt, next to the terminal building. WOMAN:Let me think if it is worth troubling my friend... MAN: If so, their cars are not allowed to wait at the entrance without being unattended.

WOMAN:OK.But I know nothing about the systems cabs are working under.What should I do?
