Apparently DLR staff have been a bit cagey about it all day. Reminds
me of when a bit of the platform fell off at Mudchute on marathon day
last year suspending all services south of Crossharbour on the DLR's
most important day of the year. I'd heard today that a train had hit
an 'object' though they said it wasn't vandalism or terrorism. Has a
train scraped the platform again? If so I wonder if there's an
inherant design fault?

Well, they are so wobbly that it's not surprising that they scrape
things.

A DLR person told me that the supposedly broken down train had "come
off the tracks". Units 87 and 62 seemed to be stuck on the viaduct
adjacent to Creekside, but I can't say that they looked particularly
wonky. If it had scraped the platform, it would have had to restart
from the station having done so to get where it was.

Police were at the scene in the morning but
they weren't there all day suggesting it wasn't a crime scene.

It's not an obvious location for "vandalism" related objects on the
line, that's for sure. By the evening there were a lot of orange
people sitting on the platform at Deptford Bridge, but no one visible
near the train.
