First View Of A New DLR B23 Train 

Yes

Really don’t know why they went with that weird door layout. They should have just put the same number of doors on each compartment and evenly spaced them out, or even just placed them in a way that’s compatible with the older stock (the latter of which would also have allowed them to install platform screen doors in the future if they wanted to).

I sure am going to miss that charming red paint on the old stocks, I think it looks a bit... generic, but they'll probably warm up the longer we use them?

It looks like a Paris Metro train.

My little boi is all grown up!!

👍 and finally! feeling vindicated for customarily dropping the light out of that poxy branding of cleptoparasitic Corporateria's ;)

Great video. ☺️

Nice one! 👍😎

It's hilarious that a "lightrail" train is larger than metro (deep level tube) train.

Looks very nice

I really can't understand why they went with such a nonsensical door layout. Surely there must be some engineering reason that is beyond my understanding?

👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

its quite a shame that the livery has been changed, ruins the design, maybe try chucking in some proper livery design, but TFL are so against a nice bit of graphics design ngl

As the new DLR trains are being built by CAF and should be in service from next year. Maybe CAF could manufacture new tube stocks for the Bakerloo Line to replace the 1973 Stock. As Siemens have won the contract to manufacture new tube stocks for the Piccadilly Line to replace the 1972 Stock.

I don't know if anyone heard about this: but earlier this year, the first one of these things was vandalised. So they're off to a great start...

I can see why the end units might not have enough space for three sets of doors, but I really don't understand why the trailer cars have not all got three sets of doors. These things will eventually break down and being able to hot swap the cars in a train would be useful, to the maintenance staff. Maybe there is something going on, inside the train, like extra space for wheelchairs, in all the carriages that only have two doors, that justifies the lack of the third set. I'll look forward to a video, of the inside of these.

The front definitely looks worse as it is roundly shaped with smaller cab windows.

Kind of reminds me of a tram

B07 looks more modern in my opinion

The doors are 3 - 2 - 3 - 2 - 3. Odd

They look horrid the units are good but the front is horrible 🤮

It’s so boring. Bring back the red
