This morning I've seen a three-unit train running on the DLR, with
the designation "Special", in between other services.


How many people does a three-car DLR hold, and how does that compare
with a six-car C stock? How does the speed compare? I'm wondering
about whether the "light" railway designation still means anything.


Closely spaced stations and lots of rapid acceleration and
deceleration are light rail-esque features in my mind.


As well as tight curves and steep inclines.
