It's a bright August day in 1987 and Stratford Broadway is bustling with traffic and shoppers going about their business. But this is no ordinary day - there's a restless, expectant crowd looking on as the Docklands Light Railway arrives at Stratford Station for the first time! The film captures the shiny new train and swanky platforms, finishing with a point of view shot through the front window of the driverless train, a novel experience for many of the passengers.
