More DLR Extensions

A Charing Cross branch sounds good. But isnt it just as easy to go to
Tower Gateway and jump on a circle/district.
True, but the three stations (Tower Hill, Tower Gateway and Fenchurch
Street) are all spread out quite a bit and so are rather poor for
interchanging. (Was there a reason why they didn't build DLR right up to the
concourse at Fenchurch Street?)
A farringdon branch seems somewhat redundant when crossrail comes along
(if it ever does) as you'll be able to connect into the DLR at WIQ and
IOD crossrail. But right now would be a useful addition as its not that
straightforward to get to Farringdon. (best route for me is DLR to Bank
then a bus or walk even. I also guess that would also involve expensive
tunnelling from Bank to Moorgate. Do DLR have that kinda money?
How close to Moorgate are the DLR platforms? And don't the end pointing to
the north already?
