Which important bit of historic London does the historic Underground
system serve worst? In fact barely at all? Why, that would be docklands.
Odd, that.


Not really, the docks handled freight and had their own network of
railways for that purpose.

And AFAIK the DLR reuses one of the routes of those lines on its way from
poplar to straford and also the old viaducts going towards the city.
I think. Someone correct me if I'm wrong?
