-The Docklands Light Railway ([[wp>Chinese_language|Chinese]]: 碼頭輕, Common Notation: DLR) is a core part of the [[/Lilypad_Rail|Lilypad Rail]] network of services, and provides vital connections to many lines in the [[Greater Llanmara|Greater Llanmara]] Region. The line runs as light rail, and in some cases acts as a local to the Metro services' express. The DLR notably features the Central Suburban Loop, with bidirectional travel linking up the major villages in the core of [[Llanmara|Llanmara]] City's suburbs.+The Docklands Light Railway ([[wp>Chinese_language|Chinese]]: 碼頭, Common Notation: DLR) is a core part of the [[/Lilypad_Rail|Lilypad Rail]] network of services, and provides vital connections to many lines in the [[Greater Llanmara|Greater Llanmara]] Region.

-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 [[North Tundra|North Tundra]]-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.

-On 27 January 2024, DLR Route D1 was reinstated, albeit running on a completely different alignment from the original route via Hampton West. The route runs from Winbeck's terminating platform out to the newly refurbished  and  stations for connections to the Northern Line and Victory Line respectively. It is the only line to use the specially branded blue Docklands livery.(( From a lore perspective, it is assumed that these stations and the Docklands area were left abandoned after the Llanmara Docklands Railway closed. However, from a real life timeline perspective, the Docklands area was constructed as apart of the Northern Line proposal, which brought the Victory Line out of the old Llanmara Bay Tunnel and across a new viaduct atop the old right of way ))+On 27 January 2024, DLR Route D1 was reinstated, albeit running on a completely different alignment from the original route via Hampton West.

 On 23 July 2024, however, DLR Route D1 was once again suspended. It was subsumed by Route B1 which was extended to Docklands North via D1 from Winbeck. This change was made in accordance with the new DLR platforms that were opened in Saint Ann's on the same day. On 23 July 2024, however, DLR Route D1 was once again suspended.
