DLR is part of the Underground system and serves a fairly wide area last time I looked.

Driverless trains? Well they are testing them now...I was having a chat with an underground staff member just last week on that very subject.

The Mayor of London said some key lines would be fully automated within two years, with several others served entirely by driverless trains by 2018.
