Trains no longer waiting for pulling-up train
In message . 145,
Tristán White writes I must say though that the courtesy between DLR trains at Poplar (people going from Canary Wharf to Beckton and changing at Poplar) is still alive and well and trains indeed wait. But no such courtesy between District and Central any more. That's because the system is drive by computer and the train is generally held until the connecting one arrives. Nothing really to do with being polite. -- Steve Fitzgerald has now left the building. You will find him in London's Docklands, E16, UK (please use the reply to address for email) |
