The Docklands Light Railway (DLR) has entered a new era, with testing of 54 modern trains beginning in September 2025. Passengers will soon benefit from walk-through carriages, air conditioning, charging points, and enhanced accessibility. Designed to boost capacity and reliability, the trains are set to ease overcrowding and improve comfort. With full service expected later this year, TfL’s upgrade promises to redefine commuting across East and South-East London.
