Not bad - you've obviously put a bit of work into that! I'll have a good look at the whole sequence later.
One or two small things to mention - the East London Line wasn't orange in 1987, and the H&C was still part of the Met and wasn't yet pink. Both of those were early 90s changes. Also, the DLR logo at opening was white text of the word Docklands on a dark blue background, with a white and red stripe underneath.

It's amazing how rapidly the DLR has grown in the past 20 years. And still expanding today. It's probably London's most successful railway.

The DLR map from 1994 is the same as the one seen on YouTube on that Shadwell to Bank video
Do you think the DLR is getting to the point where it needs to be divided up into different routes, i.e. calling Bank to Lewisham Line 1, Tower Gateway to Beckton Line 2, etc etc? Especially with the upcoming new route from Canning Town to Stratford International, plus the fact that some trains from bank to Canary Wharf stop at West india and some don't. Maybe if we were still ruled by New York-loving Ken Livingstone we could have assigned the routes subway-style letters, and then be able to ride the 'A' train to Lewisham?
