A sunny autumn Sunday ride on the DLR

As usual, it was a weekend work day and I had to get to work on a sunday. Not a happy bunny. And typically, sod's law, the bloody jubilee line was down, so I had to take the Met line to Moorgate, then Northern Line to to Bank and on the silly DLR.
 
Still, it was a good day, I found the front of the train free and started taking pics.
