	Docklands Light Railway - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Docklands Light Railway (DLR) is a light rail public transport metro serving the redeveloped Docklands area of east London, England.
		The DLR was conceived in the late 1980s by the London Docklands Development Corporation (LDDC) to aid the regeneration of the docks of East London, which had been derelict since the 1960s.
		This was met by an extension of the DLR from Island Gardens in tunnel under the River Thames to Greenwich and then on a new elevated route paralleling Deptford Creek to an interchange at the major rail junction of Lewisham.

	Docklands Light Railway
		DLR is not a brand new thing: its first section was opened in 1987 as a fine example of the light rail transit concept.
		DLR vehicles use a third rail for conduit, as it can be seen here.
		BTW as you can guess from the name "Docklands", this part has been built on top of docks, wharfs, quays and whatever, so the spaces between buildings are mostly canals and artifical lakes.

	CULG - Docklands Light Railway
		The light nature of the wooden bridges over the docks, and the risk of fire from sparks, meant that the line was operated by horse-drawn trains for many years.
		The new Docklands Light Railway was built as cheaply as possible; for example, a minimum number of trains was purchased (11 units, with the peak service requiring 10), and automatic driving and unmanned stations were both used to reduce staffing costs.
		The DLR have been kind enough to supply me with their official inter-station distances for the original sections, which really are given to a precision of 10mm.
