Brings back some memories - the times I’ve had to enjoy the mess room on the old ‘Plat 10’… Good to see, thank you for sharing.

7:45 never seen a freight train pass through platform 5.
Also I thought the DLR didn't open till 1987.

[@spompey]

A catch eh....Many thanks....Mark

[@andrewbrown6786]

If you look carefully, the seats are all covered - the unit was on test with some one at the manual controls if needed.

@@andrewbrown6786 Yes I did see that, you are quite correct, the "driver" was only there for reassurance........Mark

@@spompey Even now, DLR trains are still staffed with someone qualified to drive if required.
