Docklands Light Railway

There's no better way to see the Docklands developments than the front of a DLR train from Bank; ride it out of the tunnel, past Shadwell and Limehouse, over the junctions west of Poplar and under the shadow of 1 Canada Square, down towards Greenwich.

The DLR trains are unusual in that they are largely computer-controlled and often driverless. Make sure you sit at the front for that "roller-coaster" feeling.

The DLR also has branches from Lewisham in the South up to Stratford and Beckton.

Or the Official website. In theory you should be able to get real time train info, but when I try, I get "Access Denied" with the browser and popup blocker combination I am using. --IvorW
