The DLR first opened in 1987, it had two lines: Red - Stratford to Island Gardens and Green - Tower Gateway to Island Gardens. Within just a few years, as the DLR extended out to Beckton and later Lewisham, they turned the whole map green.
All TTC elevators are now fully operational after being down Monday morning, but passengers will have to seek out a staff member to use them, as elevator assistance intercoms remain out of service.
The main focus of the project is replacing the existing timber decking on the walkway, which has reached the end of its useful life. It will be replaced with glass-reinforced plastic panels, a more durable material designed to withstand heavy passenger use and last for many years.
Have you ever watched a mile-long freight train rumble by and wondered how one locomotive can pull more than a hundred fully loaded cars? The locomotive weighs maybe 150 metric tons, and each car is about 100 metric tons, which means it's hauling 10,000 tons. I mean, if you weigh 170 pounds, this would be like pulling three SUVs totaling 12,000 pounds.
While dozens of other countries have delivered fast, modern train networks, we are stuck with a skeletal system built largely on slow, 19th-century alignments. Even developing nations are passing us by. There is growing recognition at the federal level that things need to change, but substantial and comprehensive reform would require an act of Congress.
The building, an office block with shops on the ground floor, is at the eastern end of Oxford Street, just north of Soho Square, and sits above the possible route of the Crossrail 2 railway, if/when it is eventually built.

Footage of the incident, which took place January 15, shows the robot sitting motionless on the tracks, seemingly making no attempt to get out of the way as the unmistakable blare of the train horn gets louder and louder. "Oh it's gonna crush it!" the onlooker taking the video can be heard saying moments before the train, operated by Brightline, flattens the unfortunate bot into the tracks. Sparks can be seen flying from beneath the train before the video cuts off.
Personal Track Safety refers to the rules, procedures, and behaviours that allow workers to operate safely on or near live railway lines. It's designed to minimise risks from moving trains, electrical systems, and environmental hazards. PTS is not just about memorising rules. It's about understanding why they exist and how they apply in real working conditions. When workers grasp this early, they're far more likely to act decisively and safely when situations change.
Spain's transportation minister, Oscar Puente, admitted on Wednesday the undeniable possibility that the cause of the train crash that claimed 43 lives in Adamuz (Cordoba) might lie in a faulty section of track, based on the bite marks detected on the running gear of one of the two trains involved in the accident, as well as on other trains that had previously traveled along the same stretch.
A bridge failure might sound like something from a blockbuster, but real damage usually creeps in slowly. Across the nation, engineers watch thousands of bridges that remain open, yet are far from their best condition. "Structurally deficient" is not a death sentence, but it signals repairs can no longer wait. These 10 bridges handle massive traffic and are a serious concern nationwide today.
