London 2012 is investing £80m in the Docklands Light Rail (DLR) allowing an extra 33 million passengers a year to travel.
The improvements to the service include more rail cars to provide an even more reliable and frequent service. Around 67 million passengers a year use the DLR service and these passengers will benefit from the transport upgrades as early as 2010.
Director of DLR Jonathan Fox said: ‘DLR is already ahead of the game in its plans for 2012 thanks to funding and support from the ODA. The extensions and upgrades we will have in place will not only make for a successful Olympic and Paralympic Games, but provide reliable and well-connected public transport for years to come.
‘Everyone at DLR is keenly anticipating the Games as we are confident the railway will make a significant contribution to the success of London 2012.’
Among the improvements is the construction of four new stations – Star Lane, Abbey Road, Stratford High Street and Stratford International – along the Stratford International extension, which will open in July 2010.
