DLR may refer to:
Light railway is a railway built at lower costs and to lower standards than typical "heavy rail"; it uses lighter-weight track, and is more steeply graded and tightly curved to avoid civil engineering costs. These lighter standards allow lower costs of operation, at the price of slower operating speeds and lower vehicle capacity.
In countries where a single standard gauge is dominant, the term light railway does not imply a narrow gauge railway. Most such narrow gauge railways operate as light railways, but not all light railways need be narrow gauge. After Spooner's development of steam-haulage for narrow gauge railways the prevailing view was that the gauge should be tailored according to the traffic, "the nearer the machine is apportioned to the work it has to do the cheaper will that work be done". From the 1890s though it was recognised that cost-savings could be made in construction and operation of a standard gauge railway, "light axle-loads and low speeds, not gauge, are the first condition of cheap construction and economical working. Gauge is quite a secondary factor."Break of gauge now became an important factor and there was much concern over whether this would become an additional cost for the transhipment of goods, or whether this was over-emphasised compared to the amount of warehousing and handling needed anyway. The Irish railway system in particular became a good example of a broad gauge main line system with many independent narrow gauge, 3 ft (914 mm), light railway feeder branch lines.
The Docklands Light Railway (DLR) is an automated light metro system opened in 1987 to serve the redeveloped Docklands area of London. It reaches north to Stratford, south to Lewisham, west to Tower Gateway and Bank in the City of London financial district, and east to Beckton, London City Airport and Woolwich Arsenal.
The system uses minimal staffing on trains and at major interchange stations; the four below-ground stations are staffed to comply with underground station fire and safety requirements. Similar proposals have been made for the Tube.
The DLR is operated under a franchise awarded by Transport for London to KeolisAmey Docklands, a joint venture between transport operator Keolis and infrastructure specialists Amey plc. It was previously run for over 17 years by Serco Docklands, part of the Serco Group. The system is owned by Docklands Light Railway Ltd, part of the London Rail division of Transport for London. In Fiscal Year 2014, the DLR carried 110.2 million passengers. It has been extended several times and further extensions are under consideration.

I got told off for attempting to ride the DLR switchback. I have been wanting to see where the trains go for a while now, so I waited at Bank arrivals platform, and tried asking the train operator on a few trains, but they either didn't speak enough English or just said no (something to do with safety on out of service trains. Oh yeah, like it is so ultra dangerous to ride a train up into a short tunnel and back). Anyway, after a while I decided to jump on a train just as the doors closed. The train operator saw me (they are usually in the middle coach and can see down the train). She was not happy! It seems that trying to get on a train at bank was the wrong way of attempting this. With the Kennington loop if you ask a driver they always say no, and if you try to get on actually at Kennin...

I was a young man choosing to be alone
You were a young girl breaking out on your own
It's the change you made in me
And your smile can make me see
That it's easy to try
When I know that you're taking me high
(You take me higher and higher)
Chorus
You give me some kinda magic
And I don't wanna lose my hold on you
You give me some kinda magic
'cause you set me alight when I'm close to you
(It shows)
No good pretending don't wanna be alone
(Don't want to be on my own)
With you beside me we're making our house our home
(We're going to make our house our home)
It's the way you look at me
'cause you set my spirits free
And it's easy to try
When I know that you're taking me high
(You take me higher and higher when)
Repeat chorus
Thinking of you girl I always do
You take up all my time
'cause you make me strong
And your magic lingers on
(You take me high so high)
