I thought the general consensus was that Serco did a good job running
the DLR. I wonder if there are wobbles ahead as the reigns are handed over?

Do we have any details of what they offered to win it? Was it purely
financial terms, or were there differential service offerings?

Perhaps, though the DLR is in an unusually stable period at the moment,
with no new lines, stations, signalling systems, ticketing systems or
vehicles coming into service any time soon. There's a bit more doubling of
the Stratford to Bow Road section, but I can't think of anything else on
the agenda right now, so if you are going to swap operators, this is a less
risky time than most.

Unless they are replacing the rolling stock, yes.
