Quite. It was cheap. You get what you pay for. As for high quality, more
middling I would say for the original infrastructure and rolling stock,
though for the price it was good.

The DLR is a conspicuous success that, 20+ years on, only the
profoundly ignorant would deny. Unfortunately, that's you.


I'm not sure how the fact that I stated its been patched up over the years
somehow translates into it not being a success. The whole point of the constant
patching is that its been too much of a success for its own good and the
original system was woefully inadequate for the number of people who are now
using it. Why don't you try reading what I wrote instead of heading off on
your own little polemic.
