Docklands Light Railway (DLR) Reviews
Newest Review: ... underground lines, giving you more routes. The routes are clearly mapped on the Tube map, in the exact same way as the other underground lines. This makes it very easy to navigate. The trains themselves are much nicer than the tube trains and the journey is often more pleasant. Although some routes can be jam-packed during rush hour, most of the time you are able to get a seat. The trains are usually much cleaner than the tube trains, although there will often be a copy of that day's Metro lying around. As the vast majority of the network is overground, it makes the journey much more pleasant as you are in daylight and can see where... more

The Docklands Light Railway (otherwise known as the DLR) is a very useful railway - when it works(!) - and very easy to get round. It is one of the more recent additions to the extensive London travel network and covers the Docklands area in the East of London and South-East London. It's safe to say that travel is in SE London is a bit of a nightmare at times as the links just aren't as good as the rest of the city, so the DLR really is useful in making London that more accessible. Yes folks, there IS life saaaarf of the river. The DLR is constantly being worked on, with new stations popping up on a fairly regular basis. The routes are useful - ... Read the complete review

The Docklands Light Railway or DLR as it is normally refereed to is a good alternative to the tube for any journeys from the city to Docklands and the east London area. On my journey into work I always try to use the DLR instead of the Jubilee line due to it being a more pleasant journey, instead of being underground you get to see what is going on outside. It runs from both Bank and Tower Gateway and serves many stations on route to either Lewisham or Stratford. Over the last 8 years I have been using the service I have noticed it has got a lot busier, especially at Canary Wharf station, for me it is more convenient to get on at Heron Quays to avoid the crowds.

Docklands Light Railway (DLR) The Docklands area of London has undergone a massive redevelopment in recent times, and the Docklands Light Railway services the region. - My experience - I am not from London, and recently my Husband had an audition for Gladiators, which meant a day in the Capital. Unfortunately, I wasn't allowed to watch the auditions, but wanted to be there for moral support for hubby, so we both went down to London. The audition was in Bethnal Green, and could last for up to 7 hours, which left me with a reasonably large amount of time to kill. Luckily for me, my Mum came down with us, so I wouldn't be wandering around on my ... Read the complete review

I have been to London many times, but up until last year I had never been on the Docklands Light Railway. The DLR is not like your conventional underground for one obvious reason - it is above the ground! As I said I went on it for the first time last year when I was visiting a friend in Shadwell. I was amazed it's a great way to travel and actually see something of London (limited views of course)without sitting in traffic jams all day. My husband and I travelled on the DLR for a second time last September on our honeymoon, my friend took us to Greewich. The views that we saw were spectacular, particualary as we approached the Isle of Dogs, with the magnificent Read the complete review
