List of Docklands Light Railway stations

I've listed this article for peer review because… whilst it has been a few years I think this is mainly complete but I think it needs a bit of looking over. What should I trim from the history and what else should I include? Anything else?

Lead

• The network has been extended and the capacity of its trains expanded so that now nearly 70 million journeys made every year.[1]

"journeys are made every year"?

History

• For over 200 years London's docks and wharves thrived on imperial commerce.

It's better to say "more than", than "over".

• particularly tobacco, timber and skins

Does "skins" refer to animal hides?

• and warehouses could be used by private enterprise

Were these sold at that time?

• but put on hold by Norman Fowler in 1979

Readers might find it helpful to know who Fowler was.

Opening and extensions

• Sites for stations at Carmen Street (later Langdon Park) and Pudding Mill Lane were safeguarded

What is meant by "safeguarded"?

Conclusion

Seems pretty thorough and well-written. I'm not sure the prose is all that engaging, but maybe its difficult to achieve that with material that tends to be a bit dry. Be sure parts aren't overly detailed, which might be contributing to reader fatigue. Its a nice piece overall that I'm sure represents the topic well. Nicely done. Keep up the great work!
