The first in a new fleet of DLR trains was unveiled on Wednesday – boasting air conditioning, walk-through carriages, USB charging points and a new colour scheme. The turquoise-painted trains, which will feature real-time travel information displays, are being built in Spain and will start to enter service next year. Like the existing DLR trains, they will not have a driver at the front – but a “train captain” will be on board and can switch the automatic controls to manual. Passengers will still be able to sit in the front seat and pretend to “drive” the train. The four seats at the front of existing trains will be replaced with two bench-style “double seats” looking ahead - though the rest of the carriages have seating running along their length, similar to London Overground trains.
