Great weekend of train testing completed, all moving us closer to introducing the new trains this year. Here's a photo of one from the depot this morning. They're amazing!

Looks amazing! But it's showing the DLR closed on Monday 31st when it's not

@andrewsparrowgdn.bsky.social hey Andrew. The post at 0945 shows 25% for Reform both the areas with elections in May and those that are delayed. Text says "Reform UK were on course to do even better in the places where polling is not happening this year."

If only they published their reliability so we could check this using facts and not anecdotes!

I work for TfL and head up the DLR. I love my job. Why? As ever these are my personal views and not those of my employer.
1. I love the thing we run.
The DLR connects an area that had all-but been abandoned, and it absolutely has transformed it. I'm proud.

Inspired by a post by @jonworth.eu, care to share your favourite photo taken so far in 2025? I think this is mine.

I know not your favoured way of me purchasing, but I bought myself a Christmas present, John.

I'm on the glorious trams of Croydon. It's not a glorious day. The system is wonderful, and needs the investment it's now getting (including new trams out for procurement).

The stations also seem to have more modern entry/exit gates, and Adly Mansour has a pretty good interchange with the Cairo LRT (although it has no interchange with the proposed BRT).

There are good, clear, bilingual posters including excellent nearby attractions information.

Stations are more modern and have clearer signage and this is the only line with next train screens (although I don't think including the train number adds anything for passengers).

I'm an absolute sucker for an LED line diagram. I really wish this was a thing in the UK.

The trains are really decent. We saw two different types although they were very similar. You get a wide, metro seating layout, good customer info including door-side vertical video screens and air conditioning.

Continuing the Cairo theme, let's talk about Line 3 (الخط الثالث (مترو القاهرة)). Line 3 is run by RATP; the other two lines are run in house by a government operator. It's opened in stages from 2012 to now and still has one more section to open (to the airport)

The trains have more modern features than the oldest trains on Line 1 such as clear emergency alarms. It all feels more metro-y. Platforms are lighter and maybe a tad more spacious than on Line 1. We also have third rail electrical supply

Line 2 jumps us forward to 1996. We're talking ATP & ATO (fixed block). For non train fans (welcome!) this means automatic train protection (to prevent >1 trains being allowed to enter the same area) and automatic train operation, so trains drive themselves, but in this case it's frequently manual.

There's no next train information on line 1. Headways are in the 3-5 min zone. There is a pretty loud alarm when a train is approaching
