Abstract
With construction scheduled to start soon, London Transport will be spending L77 million on a line which will be a radical departure from its conventional underground railway and is London's first venture into Light Rail Transit. The Docklands area of the city's east end is a special target of urban renewal for an abandoned commercial area. Government funding has been provided for the LRT option which was selected on the basis of studies. Configuration of the planned systems, its interchanges, traction system, energy supply and signaling are described.
