It is the system from the DLR.

..... and we've had some threads looking at how the DLR handles temporary
speed restrictions through a reboot of the computers, and reports of trains
overrunning stops, etc. Seems the DLR system isn't as watertight or well-run

I don't know anything beyond what's in the board papers, which have
variously mentioned communication problems and specifically "works to
replace the
concentric cable with newly installed multi-core cable", which I think
refers to the leaky feeder cable that runs along the track and tells
the train where it is.
