Variously described by the DLR staff I asked as a derailment, a power
problem, a failed train and "just an incident, I don't know anything
more than that".


The TfL website says that the DLR is suspended between Greenwich and
Lewisham "due to an ongoing incident". If it was in fact a derailment, it
should have been immediately reported to the Rail Accident Investigation
Branch, but it's not (yet) shown in the list of current investigations on
the RAIB site.



RAIB were there - I saw a 4x4 vehicle carrying the RAIB logo at
Deptford Bridge on Friday morning.

RAIB don't appear to update their website immediately after an
incident, there is perhaps a gap of a day or two until it gets updated
with the latest incidents.
