Ooo, "feverish and irrational". Going to up the ante anymore? Will Mr Godwin
be invoked soon?

residents is irrelevant. Stratford is in a densely populated part of
inner London and is a major passenger interchange station. Consequently

All parts of residential inner london are densely populated. Should all of
these areas be served by tube, 2 light rail stations and mainline rail then?
Poor old Hackney eh?

the number of passengers using Stratford is extremely high and the

Extremely high compared to where? The ONLY thing the JLE does is provide
another route to docklands from stratford, the logic behind that presumably to
allow canary wharf workers to get to work 5 mins quicker than on the DLR. I
fail to see how its of much benefit to the chavs who live in stratford. It
would however have been of enormous benefit to Thamesmead allowing that area to
grow much faster that it has and provide affordable homes for commuters.

Your belief that the Jubilee Line trains have been crowded only since
the opening of Westfield shows how little you know about the Jubilee
Line and Stratford.

Well I travelled on the JLE not long after it opened and the trains were a
long way from being full.

Your reference to Cockfosters, Barnet, Stanmore and Edgeware is
completely beside the point. Those four places have no alternative rail
transport.

********. New Barnet station on the ECML is a short bus ride from High Barnet
and cockfosters. Mill Hill Broadway on the MML is another short bus ride from
edgware.

Thamesmead will be part of the Cross Rail system and has

That was unknown at the time so thats a non argument. And its ok for the area
to have had to wait for 15 years is it?

Abbey Wood and Plumstead stations nearby already. Not taking the Jubilee
Line to Thamesmead did not mean the area would be without rail
transport. Your comparison is not valid.

Using that idiotic argument nowhere should ever be considered for a tube line
because something else might come along in the future.
