The Docklands Light Railway ( the DLR ) is an automated light metro or light rail system opened in 1987 to serve the redeveloped Docklands area of London.

It is the second largest metro system in the world in terms of route miles, after the Shanghai Metro and part of the largest system in terms of route miles when taken together with the Docklands Light Railway. The light metro lines in London are operated by the Docklands Light Railway, whereas the Shanghai Metro is a group of four companies which operate heavy rail rapid transit and light metro lines.

The other major form of transportation within Singapore is rail: the Mass Rapid Transit which runs the length and width of Singapore, and the Light Rail Transit which runs within a few neighbourhoods.

Singapore has a Mass Rapid Transit ( MRT ) and Light Rail Transit ( LRT ) rail system consisting of five lines.

** Docklands Light Railway: normally abbreviated DLR, this is the automatically driven light rail network in east London, although actual operation and maintenance is undertaken by a private sector franchisee.

On 1 June 2008, the drinking of alcoholic beverages was banned on Tube and London Overground trains, buses, trams, Docklands Light Railway and all stations operated by TfL across London but not those operated by other rail companies.

Leiden is on the planned route of the RijnGouweLijn, the Netherland's first Light rail project.

Public transportation is primarily operated by TriMet and includes buses, the Westside Express Service commuter rail, and MAX Light Rail.

Light rail or light rail transit ( LRT ) is a form of urban rail public transportation that generally has a lower capacity and lower speed than heavy rail and metro systems, but higher capacity and higher speed than traditional street-running tram systems.

Light rail may use shared or exclusive rights-of-way, high or low platform loading and multi-car trains or single cars.

Light rail is similar to the British English term light railway, long used to distinguish railway operations carried out under a less rigorous set of regulation using lighter equipment at lower speeds from mainline railways.

Light rail is a generic international English phrase for these types of rail systems, which means more or less the same thing throughout the Anglosphere.

At the highest degree of separation, it can be difficult to draw the line between light rail and metros, as in the case of Wuppertal's Schwebebahn hanging rail system or London's Docklands Light Railway, which would likely not be considered " light " were it not for the contrast between it and the London Underground ; many consider these not to be " light rail " lines but light metros.

Extensions of the guided technology include the Guided Light Transit and Translohr systems, although these are more often termed ' rubber tyred trams ' as they have limited or no mobility away from their guideways.

After leaving the University of Nottingham in 1882, Fleming took up the post of " Electrician " to the Edison Electrical Light Company, advising on lighting systems and the new Ferranti alternating current systems.

Popular within the cities is Light Rail Transit, which reduces the traffic load on other systems, and is considered safe, comfortable and reliable.

Relatively inexpensive elevated Light Rail Transit systems are used in some cities, such as Kuala Lumpur.

Monorails are often but not exclusively elevated, sometimes leading to confusion with other elevated systems such as the Docklands Light Railway, Vancouver SkyTrain and the JFK AirTrain.

In some systems, such as the Digital Light Processing ( DLP ) system, there is no flying spot or raster scan at all, so there is no flicker other than that generated by the temporal aliasing of the film image capture.

* Cities with Light Rail Transit systems: Istanbul, Ankara, Bursa, Adana, Izmir, Eskişehir, Konya, Antalya, Kayseri, Gaziantep, Samsun

The Tube map is a schematic transit map representing the lines and stations of London's rapid transit railway systems, namely the London Underground ( commonly known as the Tube, hence the name ), the Docklands Light Railway, London Overground and the Emirates Air Line cable car.

Notable among these systems are the Docklands Light Railway deployed in London, while the French Véhicule Automatique Léger and the Canadian Bombardier ART have both won developments around the world.

Light field guns laid down a barrage that advanced in predetermined increments, often every three minutes, while medium and heavy howitzers established a series of standing barrages further ahead, against known defensive systems.

Light guns are very popular in arcade games, but had not caught on as well in the home video game console market until after the Nintendo Entertainment System ( NES ), Sega Master System ( SMS ), Mega Drive / Genesis, Super Nintendo Entertainment System ( SNES ) systems and Atari XEGS.

Automated driverless systems are not exclusively rubber-tyred ; many have since been built using conventional rail technology, such as London's Docklands Light Railway, the Copenhagen metro and Vancouver's SkyTrain, the Disneyland Resort Line which uses converted rolling stocks from non-driverless trains, as well as AirTrain JFK which is linking JFK Airport in New York City with local subway and commuter trains.

In contrast to some other driverless metro systems like the Docklands Light Railway or Vancouver's SkyTrain, the VAL design uses platforms that are separated from the rollways by a glass partition, to prevent waiting passengers from straying or falling onto the rollways.

The most sophisticated fiber optic systems are controllable through computer software or a DMX controlled Light board.

Light Green-Chinese characters used in conjunction with native writing systems ( Japan and South Korea ).

Modern vehicle design and ticketing arrangements have largely eliminated the need for conductors on street railways and Light Rail systems.

In recent years a number of modern tram or Light Rail systems have introduced ( or re-introduced ) conductors to minimise fare evasion and to provide customer care, supervision and security functions, even in situations where a second crew member is not strictly needed.

In Britain, The Midland Metro and Sheffield Supertram modern Light Rail systems have both started using conductors due to problems with ticket machine reliability.

Reluctant at first, Harryhausen managed to develop the systems necessary to maintain proper color balances for his DynaMation process, resulting in his greatest masterpiece ( and biggest hit ) of the 50s, The 7th Voyage of Sinbad ( 1958 ), a major inspiration for Dennis Muren, decades later a long-time multi-Oscar-winning head of George Lucas ' Industrial Light and Magic special effects company.

Light signals for this purpose travel through the retinohypothalamic tract and are not affected by optic nerve damage beyond where the retinohypothalamic tract exits.

The Light Elves are brighter than the sun in appearance, but the Dark Elves are blacker than pitch.

Light sent down into a gravity well is blueshifted, whereas light sent in the opposite direction ( i. e., climbing out of the gravity well ) is redshifted ; collectively, these two effects are known as the gravitational frequency shift.

Comparisons to Gnosticism are based not in what the author says, but in the language he uses to say it, notably, use of the concepts of Logos and Light.

Even though there are also reports of distressing experiences and negative life-reviews, which share some similarities with the concept of Hell, the positive experiences of meeting or entering ' the Light ' is reported as an immensely intense feeling state of love, peace and joy beyond human comprehension.
