DLR lift renewals: Smart sequencing to maintain step-free access
Smart sequencing has been the key to success for Octavius’ Docklands Light Railway (DLR) lift renewal programme. Throughout the work the focus has been on passenger experience, ensuring step-free access was always available, on all routes, for the system’s users.
Achieving this required developing a detailed understanding of the network which encompassed the configuration of each station and their lift provisions, as well as the individual routes and system as a whole. Also key was maintaining a comprehensive knowledge of all other renewals, as well as planned and reactive maintenance work, being undertaken across the light railway.
