-Turnham Road was the first station to be built, and such history is showcased with its old-style roundels. The line was originally the Llanmara Dockyards Railway, running between [[Turnham Road|Turnham Road]] and the piers in the [[The Docklands (Llanmara)|Docklands]] servicing the [[Llanmara Bay and Tunnel|Llanmara Bay]]. It was later closed, with the stations at the piers being completely demolished. Turnham Road's counterclockwise platform was demolished, leaving it as a one-way halt. Later, on 17 October 2022, the DLR as we know it today was opened, with trains running between [[Houton High Street|Houton High Street]] and [[Hereford Delta|Hereford Delta]]. The line continued clockwise to Turnham Road, with a refurbishment of the station taking place and the reinstatement of the clockwise platform. The line was soon extended to a terminus at "Baker's Pit" station, which lay in the Winbeck tunnel between the loop and Winbeck. Baker's Pit saw low ridership and was placed so inconveniently. It only caused clogs as four-car trains spilt out into a node section which back up trains at Winbeck. Unceremoniously, on 22 October, Baker's Pit was closed shortly after the extension to [[Winbeck|Winbeck]] was complete. On the same day, the line extended up to [[Llanmara Saint Ann's|Saint Ann's]] at a temporary structure that would later be overhauled.+Turnham Road was the first station to be built, and such history was showcased with its old-style roundels in the original station design.

-The DLR sat sturdy and free-flowing until 19 February 2023, when the entire network was suspended for major renovations across the entire network. Turnham Road was completely reconstructed to allow for full 4-car trains on all platforms, including a new lower-level platform for C1 and C2. D1 was eliminated and replaced by a lease to [[Electrostar Rail|Electrostar Rail]] to run services down to Hampton West from Winbeck. Route C1 was severely adjusted, instead running to a new station at the foot of Peakwell with a [[Peak Cable Car|cable car]] a la [[wp>Wellington_Cable_Car|Wellington Cable Car]] running to the peak. Hampton Terrace was given a second platform for bidirectional travel, and C1 was extended to Southampton with a direct cross-platform transfer to [[Tempest|Tempest]] and [[Crater Village|Crater Village]]-bound [[Metro Marble Line|Metro Marble Line]] trains. The forever planned route F1 was redesignated to route C2 (the C designation was reassigned from Hampton Terrace origination to Turnham Road Lower level origination), and the plan was cut back from an orbital to a linear route from [[Turnham Road|Turnham Road]] to [[Hixton Town|Hixton Town]] via [[Llanmara Iceland|Llanmara Iceland]]. Many stations along the line are also receiving renovations. As of 28 February 2023, the DLR construction works are still going on. Routes A1 and A2 were still suspended and C2 was only running as far as Iceland. C1 and B1 was still in operation, but B2 had yet to come back into service since the [[Llanmara Saint Devota|Saint Devota Renovations]]. High Street and Chambers Street as well have recently received overhauls as a part of the construction works.+The DLR sat sturdy and free-flowing until 19 February 2023, when the entire network was suspended for major renovations across the entire network.

 On 3 March 2023, Boulton-on-Mesa received major overhauls to reduce congestion on the old flyover. Victory trains are now on the northern end of the station instead of the southern end, and the station has a new canopy and flooring. A1 and A2 came back into service on the same day. On 3 March 2023, Boulton-on-Mesa received major overhauls to reduce congestion on the old flyover.
