Is DLR overground or underground?
Most of the DLR is not underground – just five stations out of 45 (Bank, Island Gardens, Cutty Sark, Woolwich Arsenal, Stratford International). In its early years, that number was just one (Bank). In its really early years, it was none. It’s also, still, a light rail system.
Is the DLR reliable?
The most recent figures show 116.8 million annual passengers in the financial year to 31 March 2020. The first five years had unreliability and operational problems, but the system has since become highly reliable. Research in 2008 showed 87% of the population of North Woolwich were in favour of the DLR.
Which DLR stations are underground?
Stations are in the City of London and the boroughs of Newham, Tower Hamlets, Greenwich and Lewisham with the majority of the network north of the River Thames. Of the 45 stations, four are underground: Woolwich Arsenal, Island Gardens, Bank and Cutty Sark (for maritime Greenwich).
Is the DLR fast?
The DLR trains have a maximum speed of 100 km/h (62 mph), but the fastest possible speed reached is 80 km/h (50 mph) through the tunnel under the River Thames between Woolwich Arsenal station and King George V.

How is DLR powered?
That right-wing mindset also led to another major design feature of the DLR. The power is delivered to trains via a live “third rail” rather than overhead cables as is common on many similar types of transport. As a result, the driverless trains were reprogrammed to run on the new routes.
