According to this news article from 2005 (

), the new DLR rolling stock

"(...) are scheduled to be delivered between May 2007 and September
2008."

Since it's June now, I wonder if anyone has any updates on what is
happening? Is there a delay?


I've read an article recently which had the DLR top brass at the
Bombardier factory to see the first train that has been built as part of
the order. I don't recall a date for delivery to London but the batch is
certainly on its way. Despite searching I can't find where I read it!

There will be a different front design to the train but this was not
shown in the "first train" article.
