Spanish manufacturer CAF has secured an agreement to extend the contract awarded in June 2019 for the supply of trains for the Docklands Light Railway managed by Transport for London (TfL). The extended agreement includes the supply of eleven additional trains, which will be added to the 43 initial units included in the contract. The contract extension is worth more than ninety million euro. The unique mainly driverless metro system serves a large part of the east of London, including connecting the financial district built in the former docks with the traditional City of London business area.
