Docklands Light Railway rolling stock is the passenger trains and service vehicles (collectively known as 'rolling stock') used on the Docklands Light Railway (DLR), which serves the London Docklands area in the east of London. The passenger stock consists of high-floor, bi-directional, single-articulated EMUs. The trains are formed from sets of 2 or 3 semi-permanently connected cars, the increase to 3-car trains being introduced progressively on the busiest routes in 2010, following substantial platform extension works. The trains are fully automated and have no driver, but a Passenger Service Agent (PSA), titled the "Train Captain" in the system's earlier years, is in attendance in each train and can take control at a driver's console if required. There have been three different main types of DLR rolling stock, but only two of them (the B90/B92/B2K fleet and the B07 fleet) are in operation; the original P86/P89 stock having been withdrawn in 1991/1995 and sold to EVAG, the public transport company of Essen, Germany. ==Passenger stock overview== The passenger stock consists of high-floor, bi-directional, single-articulated electrical multiple units. The cars have four doors on each side and each train is normally composed of two -long cars. A third car has been added on the busiest routes since 2010.〔(【引用サイトリンク】publisher=Transport for London )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.vinciconstruction.co.uk/news-and-downloads/Docklands-Light-Railway-Three-Car-Capacity-Enhancement-Project.html )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】publisher=Transport for London )〕 Each car has 70 seats and has a total capacity of 284 passengers. The cars have no driver's cab, although there is a small driver's console concealed behind a locked panel at each outer car end from which the Passenger Service Agent (PSA) can drive the train when necessary. Other consoles at each door opening allow the PSA to control door closure and make announcements whilst patrolling the train. Because of the absence of a driver's position, the fully glazed car ends provide a panoramic forward (or rear) view for passengers.〔 At least one PSA is required on each train to close the doors upon departing and for emergency situations, such as taking the controls or evacuating the train, especially in tunnelled sections. Despite having high floors and being highly automated, the cars are derived from a German "Stadtbahn" design, which was intended for use in systems with elements of street running (as is currently the case with the cars now used in Essen). All the cars that have operated on the system look similar, but there have been five separate types, three of which are still in operation on the Docklands Light Railway. A further car type, with quite different styling, was first displayed in March 2008 and entered service in September 2008. The DLR stock units have a maximum speed of , but the fastest speed reached is in the tunnel under the River Thames to Woolwich Arsenal station. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Docklands Light Railway rolling stock」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
