DLR steering wheels

[High Dyke]

Fair enough for the idea. It may stop the argument about having driverless trains when industrial action takes place. As now it seems anyone can drive the DLR train.

It's a cardboard steering wheel...

How long do you think they'll last?

Is it compliant with the requirements of BS EN 45545-2 for HL3 operation?

(This is the fire compliance standard for rolling stock).

Also, TfL will find a way of spending way too much money on this, as the usually do for things they don't need, then of course claim it was done at no cost to them.

There will need to be a design consultancy, a safety assessment, a financial case, an environmental impact study, a health study, staff will need to be trained, a final disposal route identified ... what have I forgotten?

This isn't the first time TfL have given away promotional materials. There was tote bags for the district line https://districtdavesforum.co.uk/thread/30326/free-district-line-150-tote and they gave away some stuff for the Elizabeth line opening I think too.

Not sure why people are jumping on this as being TfL spending too much money.

Back when Serco ran the DLR they also ran the social media and promotional stuff themselves and I won a competition and got the free inflatable steering wheel. But then TfL took all the promotional stuff back in-house and they stopped running so many specific social media campaigns just for DLR.
