The Southern Entrance To London City Airport

I entered London City Airport by a different route today, taking these pictures as I walked.

Note.

1. The route is level.
2. It is on the Southern side of Hartmann Road, which is the main entrance road for the airport.
3. There is a pedestrian tunnel under Hartmann Road into the airport.
4. There are stairs and lifts into the Docklands Light Railway station at the airport.
5. The lifts so all the way to the platforms of the DLR.
6. The route is level from the lifts to the airport.

This Google Map shows the walk.

Note.

I walked along the path, that runs NW-SE on the Northern side of the various courts and playgrounds.

The entrance to the DLR station is at the South-East end of the path at the junction of Drew and Saville Roads.

This Google Map shows a 3D visualisation of the entrance.

Note.

1. The path runs on the North side of the football pitch.
2. The Southern entrance is to the right of blue play area.
3. Drew Road runs across the entrance.
4. It looks like there is a drop-off point for passengers, where the car is parked by the football pitch.

Would it be possible to create a waking route from this Southern entrance to a rebuilt Silvertown station on the Elizabeth Line?

This Google Map shows the area between the Southern entrance to the airport and the footbridge over the Elizabeth Line.

Note.

1. The Southern entrance to the airport is in the North-East corner of the map.
2. The footbridge over the Elizabeth Line is in the South-West corner of the map.
3. The large building in the middle is Drew Primary School.
4. Whytes Road, Saville Road and Leonard Street lead between the Southern entrance to the airport and the A112.

I took these pictures of the A112 and the footbridge a few days ago.

I think it would be possible to run a fleet of small electric shuttle buses on the route.
