The Docklands Light Railway (DLR) was inaugurated in 1987 to stimulate development in East London, particularly in the Docklands area. Initially featuring fully automated, driverless trains, it has expanded over the decades, connecting a range of locations from the City to southeast London. Key milestones include the opening of the Bank station in 1991, the expansion to Beckton in 1994, and further routes under the River Thames towards Lewisham. The DLR has transformed transit in East London, culminating in new expansions ahead of the London 2012 Olympics.
