Default DLR to upgrade Woolwich Arsenal route

In a newsletter DLR have been handing out this week, it says that DLR will
be using the money received from the Olympic fund to order 22 new trains,
upgrade Prince Regent station, and - believe it or not - infrastructure
enhancements to the Woolwich Arsenal route to enable operation of 3 car
trains. Perhaps they should build it first before they consider upgrading
the route!

They also report that options to have emerged from their "Horizon 2020"
study include extending the DLR west from Bank, South from Lewisham, and
east into the Thames Gateway.

The newsletter, which also includes a picture of the new trains, can be
found at

I liked the new trains when I first saw it, but looking at it just now I'm
not sure.
