Retirement of B92 Rolling Stock

The request was successful.

Dear Docklands Light Railway Limited,

In light of CAF being awarded the tender for Rolling Stock Replacement, can you advise the intentions for B90/B92/B2K stock vehicles?
Historically P86/P89 vehicles were sold to Essen Stadtbahn, are there any intentions to transfer the B90/92/2K vehicles to any operator?
Are there plans to preserve any of the vehicles at the London Transport Museum?
Could you please provide dates for when each vehicle (1-99) is planned to be removed from service?

Yours faithfully,

A.N. Rack

Dear Mr Rack

 

TfL Ref: FOI-2341-1920

 

Thank you for your email received by Transport for London (TfL) on 4
November 2019.

 

Your request has been considered in accordance with the requirements of
the Freedom of Information Act and our information access policy.  I can
confirm we hold some of the information you require. You asked:

 

In light of CAF being awarded the tender for Rolling Stock Replacement,
can you advise the intentions for B90/B92/B2K stock vehicles?

The manufacturer of the new rolling stock, CAF, are contracted to dispose
of the B90/B92/B2K stock.

Historically P86/P89 vehicles were sold to Essen Stadtbahn, are there any
intentions to transfer the B90/92/2K vehicles to any operator?

There are currently no plans to transfer these to any other operator.

Are there plans to preserve any of the vehicles at the London Transport
Museum?

At the present time, no discussions have been held regarding preserving
any vehicles at London Transport Museum but in principle there is nothing
to prevent this happening should a request be received.

Could you please provide dates for when each vehicle (1-99) is planned to
be removed from service?

The vehicles are scheduled to be retired from DLR service between early
2024 and late 2025. The detailed schedule for when each specific vehicle
(by registration number) has not yet been developed.

 

If this is not the information you are looking for, or if you are unable
to access it for some reason, please do not hesitate to contact me.

 

Please see the attached information sheet for details of your right to
appeal as well as information on copyright and what to do if you would
like to re-use any of the information we have disclosed.

 

Yours sincerely
