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

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


The junction is already in place at North Greenwich, so it can be done
if required.

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.


It doesn't duplicate the DLR. It serves a different area further east,
as well as providing fast direct connection to Southwark.

for some reason this
seems setup seems to be seen to be ok for city airport


Because it's a toy airport.
