Canary Wharf to Limehouse on Docklands Light Railway

I made this video for a geeky friend in the US who has a thing about trains. I decided not to edit it or add a sound track so as to leave all the ambient sounds you would normally hear on the the DLR. These trains have no driver. Unfortunately the window was rather dirty so you get the view I had. Just after Limehouse I was asked to stop filming by a member of staff on 'security grounds' and after a little explanation and friendly arguing, I was allowed to continue, though there was little point as we were close to Tower Gateway where I would not be allowed to film.

I was living in Greenwich and I took this train everyday, this is a great gretting from london. Thank you for this video ;)

You're welcome. I'd love to video more, but DLR staff get very uptight about it. I'll probably shoot some Underground instead.

There's nothing geeky about liking trains. the geeks are the people who sit & watch X factor and buy trashy magazines.

[MrFlavioValentino2]

they should make fast services

[pawpawnorth]

Yea, station staff these days are so overly jumpy about people filming or taking pictures. Was outside Shoreditch High Street station the other day taking some exterior shots. One of the station staff came running up to me and told me I couldn't take pictures as i needed a permit. I asked why and he said that even HE as station staff couldn't take pictures without permission. I explained that I was still on the public highway and therefore could take pictures of what I wanted; he soon left!!

@HSTCalvin Yes you're quite there, it's the fact that many of them seem to enjoy imposing their will on others that gets up my nose.
