Default DLR website updated recently?

Not sure if anyone else has noticed, but it looks like the DLR have
updated the 'Development' part of their website to include all the new
developments under consideration (for a long time now, the only ones
they had on their with the City Airport Link, the Woolwich Arsenal
link and the new Heron Quays station).

So, on the site now you can find out their plans for, as well as the
ones mentioned above:

Stratford International Link
Barking/Dagenham Link
Capacity Enhancement (running 3 cars instead of 2 from Bank-
Lewisham)
New Stratford station (this is to replace the existing Stratford
Station and is not part of the Stratford International Link).

People who might have an interest in some or all of these should check
it out - they've already done the public consultation on the Capacity
Enhancement but I'm sure they'll be doing one soon of the Stratford
International and Barking/Dagenham links and you might want to give
your opinion - for example, the Stratford International link will be
taking over the current NLL from Canning Town to Stratford - if you
use that service (to further destinations) you'll be losing it.

The DLR website is at http://www.tfl.gov.uk/dlr

Oh - and talking about the DLR, I noticed this morning going through
Greenwich station that they've rebranded it with the new turquoise
signs etc. But, rather than just say 'Greenwich' on them, they've
tried to be more helpful and so they say 'Greenwich (for Connex)'.
So, they'll all have to be replaced in about 6 months time - what's
the likelihood of the new company running that franchise keeping the
Connex name?
