Does the DLR have regenerative braking?
 

I was wondering this yesterday as I was heading down the hole towards Bank.
If not thats a lot of wasted energy.

Interesting. Whats a "low loss" 3rd rail? Is normal 3rd rail high loss?

The supercapacitors in substations sounds a novel idea.

Presumably aluminium or steel-coated ali. Low low is conventional steel-only.
