Upgrading the railway to meet passenger demand
DLR is now running longer three-carriage
trains on its Bank-Lewisham route. The trains will run on other parts of
the DLR network when demand requires.
The Beckton route is currently being
upgraded to accommodate three-carriage trains. Once the works are
completed in 2011 the entire DLR network will be three-carriage
compatible; although some stations will operate with selective door
opening due to platform length.
