what is it?

The Docklands Light Railway B07 stock is the third generation of train used on the Docklands Light Railway (DLR), a light metro system that serves the London Docklands area in the east of London. In the mid-2000s, capacity on the DLR was increased with the extension of platforms to allow for three-car operation. Additional trains were also required to serve extensions to the network.
