DLR - London City Airport to Woolwich Arsenal

[RDL1984]

Woolwich Arsenal station looks ready for future extensions...

[LoveMeLoveMyDog80]

@RDL1984 I have always assumed the Arsenal extension was simply the first phase for a larger scheme. Boring twin tunnels under the river and constructing a whole new subterranean station is hugely OTT for a one stop extension at the very end of a fairly minor branch of the system. I wouldn't be surprised if there is some pipe-dream of the engineers for extending toward Abbey Wood or Thamesmead. Would be good if it ever happens, though the Bakerloo extension is more important IMHO

@LoveMeLoveMyDog80 Hey. Now that you've mentioned that boring tunnels under the Thames is a bit OTT for a one station extension, it does sort of make sense now. It's possible that in the near future there will be an extension from Woolwich Arsenal to destinations further south/east. Thanks for commenting.

@LoveMeLoveMyDog80 The route does a U turn in the tunnel so it's unlikely that it can be extended eastwards.

i thought you was driving but you asked the driver if you can go to the from am i right?

[luerexbob]

@kaiyan246 Haha no I'm only 15. And there are no cabs in the DLR trains. Anyone can go to the front.

[lukeraloko]

How fast are these trains?

[luerexbob]

@lukeraloko Not sure man, you could check on Wikipedia?

Nice video. This helped me a lot since I am going to arrive in London and stay in Plumstead for some time, the nearest station is going to be Woolwich Arsenal. Thank you for uploading this!
