Thanks for the reply. I have not noticed this on Underground or
mainline tracks - so is there a reason this apply to Docklands only ?

You do get them on the mainline, though not always in the same form.
LUL doesn't need them on most of its tracks as they are mainly jointed
rail, and jointed rail has a gap between each section of rail anyway
(which gives rise to the clickety-clack sound when travelling over it),
so it doesn't need them.
