Virtually Coupled Train Set Concept

In virtually coupled train formations, there is no longer a mechanical connection between the individual multiple unit trains. Dynamic winging is an operational and technical innovation of the DLR Next Generation Train (NGT) lead concept. With this function, it is possible to virtually couple trains and strengthen or weaken train formations during the journey. This also enables a new type of operating concept, which is modelled on the historical "slip coaching".
