I have downloaded the DLR working times from
https://www.whatdotheyknow.com/request/dlr_working_timetable_5
and I can successfully view the files. Can anyone help with the data format? The file has no column headers to help. Clearly each entry is a set of operation instructions for a 'move' and I have been able to identify the specific DLR unit that I was on - Saturday 12 from Limehouse to Bank. The entries are thus..

17 705 WW24 Line 136 LIM4 15:52:22 15:52:35
17 705 WW24 Line 136 SHA2 15:54:38 15:54:51
17 705 WW24 Line 136 BAN10 15:58:15 15:59:05

Column 1: 17 - Meaning??
Column 2: 705 - Meaning??
Column 3: WW24 - Meaning??
Column 4: Line 136 - Meaning??
Now clearly the detail is along the lines of the Tube WTT, which has 'Train Number', 'Trip Number' and 'Crew Running ID' but they are obviously not the same.

Column 5: LIM4 - Clear on this one - That's Limehouse Platform 4, confirmed from my notes.
We then went through SHA2 - Shadwell Platform 2 and arrived into BAN10 - Bank Platform 10

Column 6: Arrival Time - Pretty Obviously
Column 7 - Departure Time - Again, pretty clear.

So can anyone help with Column Headings for the first part of the data?

From an earlier FOI https://www.whatdotheyknow.com/request/dlr_working_timetable


Column A – This is the train ID;

· Column B/C – This is the run number (702) followed by the
sub-schedule (i.e. winter or summer timetable);

· Column D – Shows the line number (i.e. which line the train is
running on – see Line Names attachment for further details);

· Column E – The station/platform identifier (i.e. BLA2 =
Blackwall platform 2) (JWEX a J signifies a junction as opposed to a
platform) – see Station abbreviations attachment for further details;

· Column F Arrival time at platform or junction;

· Column G Departure time at platform or junction.’

There’s DLR WTTs back to around 2010 on the website and the link above also has a document of line names, though some of these may have changed.
