DLR need to introduce a retro paint scheme on their units.

Nice! Very rare footage. Thanks for posting.

I remember the original formation and trains very well indeed. Though those inward opening doors were obviously a design blunder from day one

Is the old Eurostar flyover going back to service?

I'd shunt with Sooty anytime.

I worked with TfL, now I work with London transport museum when I heard about DLR high level at island gardens closed on 8/1/1999

I still wish Island Gardens high level was still open today... :(

I like this one train. But is a shame this train effect the way too loud of bell sounds! 😖

Great video. I lived on the Isle of Dogs between 1996 and 2003 and used the DLR nearly every day, including the original Island Gardens station. The video mentions that the Lewisham extension was completed ahead of schedule. Was surprising at the time as the contractor for the tunnels under the Thames managed to blow one of them up leaving a massive crater in sports pitch of the local school (George Green School). For a long time afterwards you could seen mud stains against the white walls of the school!

Awesome documentary

This train goes past my primary school cyril jackson. i usually get on the end of the train for best view and take a look out at the school i used to go too and my childhood neighbourhood.

Great views of the DLR it’s nearly as old as me 💕

25:41 spooky

Disused signal boxes should be made into housing, can be done as there is others that are being used in that way

Great video. ☺️

Fascinating

Protections doors in 1990 :0

Newest documentary for trains

Fantastic footage. Thank you for uploading this!

When we went to Minster in 1983 it still had station buildings. Local Scout club back down the line.

Brexiteers have given what the Irish Republicans have always dreamed of: a united Ireland.

damn i live in ashford and go to Canterbury west every day for uni on the highspeed train and its amazing to see how everything still looks the same even after 10+ years, crazy. Thanks for this video

Excellent excellent watch for a guy like me born when this wonder was in the thick of its existence! So many memories of when i first started using the dlr probably in 2004/5 when i was like 13/14😔 Now im 30 and life is reallll boy, not only personally, but politically also, life is headed in a different direction, gone are the good old days😌

I'm looking for a video taken from inside deltic round about the 00s. Was Faversham - Birmingham. My dad drove it and he's never been able to get a copy of the video. Can anyone help?

I have a question about your ELL to Shoreditch video, but comments are turned off. I am following the route on Google Maps and the centre conductor rail is not there! How can that be??? Thanks

My first ride on the DLR was in 1991.

Shoutout to Sooty yo!

LDDC sponsored Millwall football club in 1984-85. I remember seeing that on their shirts when they played at Luton in the 6th round of the FA cup ( the infamous ‘ riot ‘ game ).

DLR only one public transport fully accessible for wheelchair-users.

There’s something very Alan Partridge about this.

Love the old video of how the Docklands Light Railway was first built. Even was built before I was born 😄

Freedom for Ireland

Line speeds now 80 mph in places which is nice.

Super, thanks Traincrew

Thanks for uploading, Traincrew.

Go go go go irl

Sounds like a 377 or 375

I used to have this on video! I was hoping this would be on there!

I worked on the DLR for 25 yrs, it became a really effective railway system

excellent train journey👍 seeing how the wye signal box as it used to be and how it is now, was there any plan to straighten out the line at grove ferry

42:00 Nice to see these old trains still going in 2004.

Nicknamed Sooty. Oh my.

Is this an Electrostar we're riding?

love it

Surprised it started on platform 4 which is only for Eurostars

So many foot crossings on this line

Such a pity we descended into a backward kip after the Brits left and then gave our so called freedom to the E.U.............we couldn't run a bath never mind a country.

A great potted history of the system and as you say at the end it has now become a mature system
