There does seem to be a dangerous design 'fault' with the DLR stock
that needs the train captain's full attention. That is the huge gap
between the cars. They are not fitted with a protective curtain as are
most tube stock. I guess its only a matter of time before someone
falls onto the track between cars and the train starts automtically
with fatal consequences.

I take it you'll be writing a letter to the local MPs calling for a ban on
use of the DLR then. ?

By the way, how did you get on trying to have the work stopped at
Paddington?
