Do I get the points for saying that every location is on the DLR?

Some difficult ones in there so not confident of a clean sweep but here goes:
A- King George V? B- Between Beckton Park and Cyprus (more specifically departing Beckon Park). C- Between West India Quay and Westferry. D- Between South Quay and Heron Quay? (least confident on this one) E- Between Langdon Park and Devons Road.

Chris - to be honest I'm disappointed that you didn't make the lampposts from a different location just to make today's quiz a bit more difficult.

Maybe the sheet says 'beteeen Westferry and Canary Wharf' given that trains in the southbound direction don't stop at West India Quay?

the Beckton (Extension) Link Viaduct (the names seem to be used interchangably) is the route between Westferry and Poplar bypassing to the north the arm of Delta junction that no longer has any track. The naming is due it to it being built as part of the Beckton extension as Delta junction would not have the required capacity.
West India Down Viaduct is the link between Westferry and Canary Wharf bypassing (by diving below) Delta Junction and West India Quay station used by down (southbound) trains.

I'll be sure to use the correct terminology next time
