"Engineers have been working to introduce a package of improvements, including braking software upgrades to improve performance under the specific low-rail adhesion conditions experienced during the incident."
"Following manufacturer upgrades, the DLR trains will return to the tracks this weekend for live testing on the railway."
"The current expectation is that the new DLR trains will resume passenger service later this summer."
"To allow the tests to take place, the DLR will be closed between Bank and Lewisham, between Tower Gateway and Canning Town, and between Stratford International and Canary Wharf."
The new DLR trains will return to testing this weekend after being removed due to a braking issue. Three of the 54 new trains had entered service when one overshot its stopping point. Engineers have since implemented improvements, including software upgrades for better performance in low-rail adhesion conditions. The DLR will be closed on specific routes to facilitate testing. Spotters can safely view the trains from designated locations, with expectations for passenger service to resume later this summer.
