Default TfL Board gives approval for next step for DLR Stratford extension

DLR itself. If we had waited for a tube line or heavy rail options then
nothing new would be being built to City Airport or Woolwich and we


I'll wager that within a decade city airport will have grown to the
point
where a branch line from the jubilee line is required. They should have
done that at the start , in fact IMO the jubilee line should have
terminated at the airport just like the picc does at heathrow instead
of stratford which was already well served anyway and didn't need
a tube service that just duplicated the DLR. Anyone suggesting the
piccadilly line should terminate at hounslow and a light rail line run
to heathrow would be considered mad , yet for some reason this
seems setup seems to be seen to be ok for city airport. British
short sightedness at its most stunningly thickwitted I would say.
