Docklands Light Railway (DLR) was one of Britain's first light rail systems. It has one of the safest and most advanced automatic train control systems in the world.
The DLR opened in 1987 to serve the London Docklands with 11 trains and 15 stations.
Since then a number of extensions have seen the DLR linked to Bank, Beckton, Lewisham, London City Airport and Woolwich Arsenal.
