London City is and always will be quite a small airport. It currently
handles about 1.7 mppa (million passengers per annum). Assuming 50
weeks of 5 days, that's 6800 passengers per day. According to Newham

And you don't think thats a lot?

If half of all the passengers going to and from to the airport used the
Jubilee line that would average 7 passengers per train. Given that
virtually all the flights are business orientated that proportion is
optimistic.

Council, Stratford station (all lines) currently handles 52,000
passengers per day. I fail to see the logic behind "clear target" and
"rather pointless terminus"

Airport = clear target (and obviously someone in tfl has finally
noticed or else the DLR wouldn't be going there).

An airport is not a 'clear target' simply because it's an airport. It's
because of the figures above that only the DLR is going there - and
more importantly, serving the airport as only as an intermediate
station, not a terminus (Woolwich is the ultimate terminus).

Rather pointless terminus = area that is already served by mainline
trains to liverpool street, NLL, central line & DLR. I'm trying to
think of a reason that a run down tip like stratford would need yet
another tube line to go there.

Very Margaret Thatcher like thinking. Perhaps the fact that the area is
being redeveloped will be aided by the presence of the Jubilee line.
The connections that the Jubilee line have greatly assist the creation
of an integrated transport system. By your logic British Museum would
still be open instead of Holborn on the Central line, "because the
Piccadilly line already goes there".

Will you now admit that the figures don't stack up for your case?
