Closing Date
KeolisAmey Docklands, a joint venture formed between Keolis (70%) and Amey (30%), was awarded the franchise in July 2014 to operate and maintain the Docklands Light Railway in London. We have now secured a new eight-year contract, extending our responsibility for the DLR until 2033.
Under this renewed agreement, we will see the joint venture continue to build on the strong foundations of collaboration developed with Transport for London and invest in accelerating the network’s social value for customers, colleagues and its communities.
This will mean cleaner trains and stations, more reliable lifts and escalators, more efficient and reliable station maintenance and faster passenger journeys. The network’s current 99 per cent reliability record will also be maintained – ensuring it remains one of the best performing railways in the UK.
We will also introduce 54 new trains over the course of the new contract.
