DLR City Airport Extension

Do they have any option? Are there facilities on the DLR for trains to overtake each other? That was the nub of my question: does the DLR have any crossovers for trains to pass each other on the wrong line and/or are any of the stations on loops off the running lines? It's such a long time since I've been on the DLR that I can't remember. None of the stations are on loops. It might be possible for trains to overtake wrong-way heading eastbound from Bank, between Minories Junction and just east of Shadwell station, but I imagine that would restrict capacity for other services considerably. If all the LCY services stop at every intermediate station, it's going to be tedious - in just the same way as the Piccadilly line service from Heathrow is tedious because it stops at everywhere inbetween. It's still only a 22 minute journey Bank - LCY, and there are nine stops in between - a bit different to the Piccadilly's eighteen stops between Leicester Square and Heathrow for instance. -- Dave Arquati Imperial College, SW7 www.alwaystouchout.com - Transport projects in London |
