Now that the dust has settled, what do we think of these industrious little fellows?

the trains? yeah they're alright
the DLR? It's fine, seems like more of a vanity project than anything else but it performs a good commuter service

New trains with full walk-through will be nice. They got very crowded pre-rona because everyone squeezed into the first pair.

3 stations within 200m of each other but outside of that it's very practical.

They're only good if you get the front seat where you can pretend to drive the train.

I wish I lived near a DLR station so I wouldn't have to take the t*be every day

Aye but tyre not put there for people to take a trip between the stops. Its mainly to help people get off nearer to work as Canary Wharf is a bit crap to walk around with all the waterways

It was designed to be a cheap way of encouraging development in the London Docklands... Canary Wharf likely wouldn't have existed in its current form without the DLR preceding it. Got much more use than they initially expected. Definitely not vanity by any means since it was designed to be as cheap as possible whilst still encouraging use.
