I wonder whether DLR will run any fast services, non-stop from
Bank/Stratford/Lewisham/Beckton to LCY or whether every LCY service
will stop at all stations en route.

Do they have any option? Are there facilities on the DLR for trains to
overtake each other?

That was the nub of my question: does the DLR have any crossovers for trains
to pass each other on the wrong line and/or are any of the stations on loops
off the running lines? It's such a long time since I've been on the DLR that
I can't remember.

If all the LCY services stop at every intermediate station, it's going to be
tedious - in just the same way as the Piccadilly line service from Heathrow
is tedious because it stops at everywhere inbetween.
