[edit] New stock?

The page suggests that delivery of the new trains was to begin in May 2007. Has this happened? David Arthur (talk) 23:17, 21 November 2007 (UTC)

TfL said in a press release some time ago that the new DLR trains were due to arrive in May 2007, well it is now January 2008 and I can confirm that not a single one has been delivered to Beckton or Poplar depots! Hopefully some should be there by May this year. Bombardier are known for their failure to meet time scedules. I don't want this to delay the delivery of London Overground Electrostars though.

Great news! The first new train was delivered last December. They must be keeping it secret for some reason. If anyone can get a photograph of it then it would be most apprieciated (sp?). I have updated the article to reflect what I know so far. Unisouth (talk) 10:58, 13 February 2008 (UTC)
At least three have arrived - 104, 105 and 106. The rest will be numbered 101 - 103 and 107 - 122. Unisouth (talk) 11:12, 25 February 2008 (UTC)
I changed the dates to reflect the first display of them in March. I don't think they are roaming the tracks yet though. 86.153.142.117 (talk) 20:25, 8 April 2008 (UTC)
