    I went to a camping and caravanning show in the Millennium Dome using the Docklands Light Railway!! What an outing to have.

    Look at that blinking cable car in the background!! Now that would give you gorgeous views to film!! And although not a railway, it’s a great little trip!!

      I did contemplate a ride, but decided a ride on the Elizabeth line was more interesting for me haha.

      Yes, although it's not a "tube" line as it doesn't go underground at any point. It's a great system though and soon to get all new vehicles tok

      ​​@@StevenHughestransportvideos It does go underground at Bank, but 'it goes underground' isn't what makes something a tube line. It's not a tube line because someone has decided that it isn't one. That's about it.

      @@Gfynbcyiokbg8710 I didn't know Bank was an underground station, you learn something every day. I suppose it's been decided it's not an underground line, simply because the majority of the route isn't underground. I'm sure TFL (or whoever it was back in the day) had criteria for it being included or not within the underground ("tube") network

    The Docklands Light Railway is a wonderful example of autonomous driving. The trains are driven by computers!! Great, isn’t it?!!

      It is until you realise every tram I saw at Royal Victoria was being driven by the onboard staff, and some at Canary Wharf too. The "autonomous" driving isn't entirely as reliable as people would think from what I saw.

      @@Gfynbcyiokbg8710 I mean, the onboard PSA had the desk open and was controling the train. Some at Royal Victoria were running via computer but probably half or more were not. A couple at Canary Wharf also had PSA operating them.

      Pretty much every service which I saw at Royal Victoria required some kind of PSA intervention to get the service starting again.

      They should have gone for a street running tram system with humans driving the trams.
