TfL running shorter DLR trains to keep the fleet running

Transport for London (TfL) is having to run shorter trains on the DLR while it waits for its new fleet of replacement trains to arrive.The issue is that the 30-year old B92 trains are past their ideal retirement age, and in order to keep the trains running until their replacements arrive, TfL has had to reduce the millage each train operates.
In order to do that, on the Woolwich branch, they’ve reduced the number of cars per train from three to two cars, so that they can reduce the mileage
