DLR three car trains - City Airport extension
"Alan (in Brussels)" wrote in message ... "Londoncityslicker" a écrit dans le message de oups.com... Does anyone know if the stations on the City Airport extension are built for three car operation? And are they planning to run three cars at the start? The Beckton branch is getting just as congested as the Lewisham branch at peak times. With more and more new housing developments in the area it can only get worse. And with local (and useful) bus services being non existant, three car trains might be needed sooner rather than later. According to a TfL announcement in June: "(...) The Railway opened in 1987 and by 1994 was carrying 8.2m passengers. By 2003 passenger numbers stood at 44m and DLR is now carrying over 50m passengers a year. The network has grown from 15 to 34 stations and 11 to 94 vehicles running over 27kms of track. Trains will be extended from two to three vehicles by 2009." Development Contact - Judy De Haan 020 7363 9667 - So the LCA extension (on which test running has just begun) will initially have two-car trains at stations designed to be extended to three-car units. Regards, - Alan (in Brussels) As far as I know three car trains are only running between Bank and Lewisham. |
