just got off 130 couple with 117 and i must agree they are alot better and 130 was the cleanest DLR train i have seen in a while It must of been stuck in the depot for a while. Because the new ones are already starting to look tatty already. 105 is a perfect example.

Have they started running the 3 car units on that branch yet? I know Beckton - Tower Gateway aren't due for a while yet. All the stations are boarded at each end currently, except Royal Albert, Gallions Reach and the two below surface stations, Cyprus and Beckton Park though i believe these two can already handle 3 car units

saw 149-150 today on the bank-lewisham service its the newest i have seen for a little while Are you sure. because they have not even been delivered yet. Because up to 145 has been delivered and up to 143 is in service. 3 car trains are planned to run on the Beckton Branch september this year. Correct Beckton Park and Cyprus can already handle 3 car trains. Royal Albert and Gallions Reach will be selctive door operation.

I don't think doing work would be a great idea at Cyprus anyway considering the S.U Bar at UEL is next to it ;D 3 cars can't come soon enough!!! Will this be in conjuction with the opening of the Stratford extension by any chance?

I wonder when there will ever be 3 car trains on the Beckton branch in the near future.

Architecture and the Visual Arts. It's in front of the Knowledge Dock according to the map/website. I was thinking the same, the bend after Royal Albert isn't very sharp.

Ahhhh, that's why i don't know it. Being an Accounting student, i wouldn't have a clue about that place ;D You're right about that bend, though it's only been in operation recently, as in the last couple of months.
