KeolisAmey Docklands, a joint venture between Keolis and Amey, was awarded the franchise to operate and maintain the DLR until 2021.

The focus of the franchise is to boost services and implement a series of service improvements to make journeys better for passengers.

This means cleaner trains and stations, more reliable lifts and escalators, more efficient and reliable station maintenance and faster passenger journeys. Maintaining the network’s 99 per cent reliability record and ensuring it remains one of the best performing railways in the UK is a key priority.
