Editing Docklands Light Railway (section)

===Depots===
The network has two depots, at [[Poplar DLR depot|Poplar]] and [[Beckton DLR depot|Beckton]]. Poplar was opened with the initial line in 1987. Due to the constrained site, a new, larger, depot at Beckton was opened in 1994 {{ndash}} and is now the main maintenance depot and primary control centre for the network.<ref name=":03">{{Cite book |last=Pearce |first=Alan |url=https://www.worldcat.org/oclc/137312784 |title=Docklands Light Railway : official handbook |date=2006 |publisher=Capital Transport |others=Brian Hardy, Colin Stannard, Capital Transport |isbn=1-85414-298-4 |edition=5th |location=Harrow |oclc=137312784}}</ref> Track maintenance, off-peak train stabling, as well as the Operating and Maintenance Centre (OMC for TfL Staff) and the Hilton, Ritz and Dorchester Buildings houses the KeolisAmey Docklands franchise staff and the secondary back-up control centre are based at Poplar.<ref name=":03" />

[[Buckingham Group]] was awarded a £35m contract in 2021 to upgrade the Beckton DLR depot to accommodate the new B23 rolling stock. Works include construction of a new carriage wash, extension and modification to existing track, and new sidings for the new trains. This was scheduled for completion in September 2023, but Buckingham went into administration the previous month (August 2023). TfL appointed [[Morgan Sindall]] to complete the work, alongside a £90m deal to build a new train shed and deliver further sidings.<ref name="Rogers-04Apr2024">{{cite news |last1=Rogers |first1=Dave |title=Buckingham collapse delays DLR job by months, TfL confirms |url=https://www.building.co.uk/news/buckingham-collapse-delays-dlr-job-by-months-tfl-confirms/5128735.article |access-date=4 April 2024 |work=Building |date=4 April 2024}}</ref>
