NORMAL SERVICES RESUME ON DLR TO LEWISHAM Normal services resumed on the DLR between Crossharbour and Lewisham as planned on 26th August 2008. A major eight week construction programme has successfully taken place which will enable longer three-carriage trains to operate from 2010. This has now been completed and passengers will no longer have to change trains at Island Gardens.
Jonathan Fox, Director of the DLR, commented: “I would like to thank all of our passengers for bearing with us during this period of significant disruption. These works are one of the most challenging and critical of the overall £300m three-carriage upgrade programme, so I am pleased to say this project has been successfully completed as planned. Although closures of DLR lines will still be necessary on particular weekends, weekday services will now stay largely unchanged.”
