§ 26. Mr. SpearingTo ask the Secretary of State for Transport on what date he expects the Beckton extension of the docklands light railway to be opened for passenger traffic.
§ Mr. FreemanGood progress has been made so far on the construction of the Beckton extension. However, the exact date of the opening of the passenger service will be dependent upon the satisfactory commissioning and clear demonstration of reliability of the new signalling system. An announcement will be made by the DLR as soon as a firm date is known.
