It would if it left a whole unit (no corridor connection) off the

or if the headshunt at Bank hadn't been long enough for a 3-unit train.


Is it still (or was it ever) the case that even DLR staff aren't allowed to
travel in the front unit into the Bank headshunt? That's what they told me
when I organised the (only?) enthusiasts' tour allowed to enter the
headshunt, in 1998, but I was never quite convinced that I'd got the full
story. Further details of what was said at the time are shown at
