Default New DLR Trains

I guess you mean they won't work in multiple with the old units , not
each other. Otherwise a rather expensive white elephant!


Maybe the new ones will be introduced before lengthening to allow for
the old ones to be taken out and fixed before one of them falls off
(as seems more and more likely every time I travel on them).


I have the feeling that its a design flaw otherwise I'm sure they'd
have fixed it by now. I've never been on any other train or tram that
does anything similar and I don't remember the first generation of DLR
trains doing it either.
