A good question. Did it re-use any track on the former BR route it took over
going up to Stratford? Or maybe it was cheaper to buy standard gauge kit.

I don't think the original DLR took over any existing track,

I thought Poplar to Bow took over the original track. But it might well
have been ripped out and re-laid; that's not a major expense in the
scale of things. Against that, the original DLR was done on the cheap,
so perhaps not.

In fact, it could have even re-used the LTSR tracks from Christian
Street Junction to wherever the 4-track used to end, apart from the
swerve on the Up line at Shadwell.
