Docklands Light Railway

The Docklands Light Railway was originally opened in 1987, running from Stratford and Tower Gateway to Island Gardens. Since then it has been extended serve Bank in the City of London (1991), Beckton (1994), Lewisham (1999), London City Airport (2005) and Woolwich Arsenal (2009). A further extension to Stratford International and the 2012 Olympic site is under construction. Over 100 automatic driverless vehicles are in service (compared to just 11 in 1987) over a current route length of 34km of segregated track. The network serves the City and Canary Wharf as well as suburbs of south-east and east London, crossing the River Thames in two locations.

The DLR is operated by Serco Docklands.
