What transport? There's no new stations. What regeneration? Westfield
would have been built anyway according to the developers, and anything
else might just about make up for all the business that were knocked
down to make way for the gigantic white elephant.
Significant ODA transport funding has for instance gone towards the
North London Line upgrade (both new trains and infrastructure), the DLR
three car project (both rolling stock and infrastructure), and the new
DLR route from Stratford International to Canning Town (which includes
new stations).

I sit corrected then - thanks.

Still not convinced that it's enough to make the whole thing worthwhile
though, and there's still all the money being wasted on a stadium etc
and on people running in circles.
