Lewisham Council is pushing for a late-night Docklands Light Railway (DLR) service on weekends, which it claims could be implemented without significant signaling upgrades. While advocating for this service, the council also notes concerns about local railway improvements as residents await new driverless DLR trains, delayed from their 2024 launch. Past discussions on late-night services were hindered by cost concerns. The Bakerloo line extension remains a long-term project, anticipated not to be completed before 2040, leaving residents in need of better nighttime transit options.
Lewisham Council is advocating for an overnight Docklands Light Railway (DLR) service on weekends, stating it could operate within the existing network without extensive upgrades.
Concerns about local railway improvements persist as residents await the delayed arrival of new driverless, air-conditioned DLR trains, initially projected for 2024.
Despite previous cost concerns that halted a late-night DLR service consideration in 2018, renewed calls for this service emerge amid local developments in public transit.
The next developments in London's railway infrastructure specifically involve the Bakerloo line extension, expected to be completed no earlier than 2040, prompting a wait for commuters.
