Speed restrictions have been introduced on the Automated Docklands Light Railway, also
00:05
known as the DLR, after engineers discovered the trains were going too fast on some sections
00:11
of the track. The speed limits were brought in after Transport for London engineers found
00:16
there wasn't enough of a safety margin between the speed of the trains and the maximum recommended
00:22
speed. It was discovered during a review of the signalling system. Most sections have
00:28
been slowed by 5mph, TfL have confirmed, adding that the trains never went over the
00:34
recommended track speed. TfL's general manager for the DLR, Tom Page, said,
00:40
Following a review of our signalling system, we identified a pre-existing technical issue
00:45
which meant there were a number of places where there is not enough margin between maximum
00:50
recommended speed and the speed of trains. For more on this and other transport news,
