Default Westfield and the DLR

On this visit, I was surprised just how much construction still seemed
to be going on around the park, given that the venues are all supposed
to be more or less complete. Even the temporary warm-up track on top
of the DBS sidings seems to be almost done (it was still a concrete
plant when I last walked along the Greenway). I assume that some
underground services have to be laid (including the new water main)
and the area landscaped after the major buildings are complete.


Oh they have an awful lot of other people's money to spend yet - eg on
the coach park, that wonderful bit of "legacy" which means they tarmac
over several playing fields on Hackney Marshes and then remove it all to
reinstate the playing fields.
