Also between this forum and possibly district dave and railforums is there an existing withdrawal list for the departing B stock trains so the folks know which one is still in service and which ones have gone. I know dlroper has kindly mentioned a few already.

So, as far as I'm aware the ones withdrawn so far are: 38 39 88 98 Believe the next B23 is arriving before the new year as well

Seems like yesterday For me as well, vehicle 16 was just entering service when I joined DLR. Will certainly be strange when the last B92 leaves.

TfL seems to have reverted to posting leaflets to local residents as I received notification of upcoming engineering works this weekend.Β Β Β The DLR is closed from Beckton to Canning Town to allow for electrical upgrade works for the new trains that are due to start entering service next year.Β Β Β I did notice over the last couple of days work taking place close to the big cross over / flyover at Canning Town where the various lines meet.
Also noticed that replacement buses now run to Gallions Reach via Beckton so assume buses no longer stand at Beckton?Β This explains why I see buses double running the roundabout by the DLR depot a few weeks ago.
