It bugs me that there isn’t night DLR yet. The trains are driverless and the stations don’t need any staff to function, so what is holding that back? Think of the benefits it would bring in terms of having a zero change, night time link between Canary Wharf and the City of London, the two big financial centres. As well as 24/7 travel to city airport.
@gymnasiast906 жыл бұрын
I don't know the financial world very well, but I doubt they work at night, so would have little use for a night service. As for London City Airport: I don't think it's large enough to make it worthwhile. They still have to move enough passengers to make up for the investment.
@andrewsebastianrothgarnant3506 жыл бұрын
London City Airport is only open between 06:30 to 22:30 Monday to Friday, 06:30 to 13:00 on Saturdays and 12:30 to 22:30 on Sundays so the demand for a 24/7 there is extremely limited
@MatthewKiff6 жыл бұрын
I appreciate the replies. I just can’t help thinking there is definitely the demand. The only station in the south east of London that’s also south of the river is North Greenwich, and even when there isn’t an event on at the O2 the station is in very high demand despite only having one line running through it. Even at 3am there are long queues to get onto buses heading towards Eltham, Woolwich and Bexleyheath. Having the DLR available at night would alleviate the strain on the station.

would be great for Singapore to run their MRT 24hrs as well but with all the reliability issues and upgrading works... *sigh* Singaporeans will either complain/be skeptical in many different ways if we were to run our MRT overnight. -Noise from train disrupting my sleep! -Only ghosts will use it. -The fares will rise! -Why does it not serve the whole line? -Why does it not stop at my station? -Waiting time is too long! -Should focus on maintenance since the MRT is breaking down often! But for the record, our trains did run overnight at a 1 hour interval to shuttle SCSM runners for that one year. Trains also ran till 3 am when the former Prime Minister Lee Kuan Yew's public funeral wake was held.

New Cross Gate is a much better connected area than New Cross station is, as most of the night buses stop right outside the station whereas with New Cross you might have to walk a bit to get between the station and bus stops. (Also the depot is right by New Cross Gate, so it’s easier to move trains about than from the New Cross branch.) (As a side note, what would be nice to see is the Thameslink overnight services stopping at New Cross Gate when the night Overground is running, but I don’t know how likely that is to happen.)
