I was out and about on the DLR today and there was another three-"carriage" test train running up and down and stopping at the stations. It was the 07/09 stock again. At the stations the door lights were flashing a couple of times, but not evidently being released and the internal lights were off. The destination was "Not in service" rather than "Special" as on the one I saw a couple of weeks ago. When I saw it head south, I didn't pay attention to the platform indicators. When it headed north, the indicators showed "Island Gardens" and I thought maybe it was going to do a short run in service, but it showed up still "Not in service" and clearly wasn't in service. I noticed that all the Flight Lieutenants (or whatever the DLR crew are called this week) were working from the front today. Come to think of it, they were doing that during last week as well. I am guessing that with the differential stopping points at the SDO stations, they need to work from the front to make sure that ALL trains stop at the correct point. In the meantime, on Thursday at least, there was still a sign at Shadwell saying "... will not stop beyond this point". |
