Transport written question – answered at on 19 December 2005.
To ask the Secretary of State for Transport how many trains per hour will run on the Docklands Light Railway by 2012; and what the passenger capacity per hour will be.
Capacity on the core routes of the DLR network will be increased by 50 per cent. with the introduction of longer trains from 2009. Frequencies on the DLR will also be increased to serve the Olympics in 2012, including services on the planned Stratford International Extension which will link a number of Olympics venues. It is anticipated that with committed capacity enhancements and extensions which are planned to be in place by 2010 that approximately 90,000 passengers could be carried per hour on the entire DLR network during the Olympics.
