Default North Woolwich branch to close

Has the Custom House to North Woolwich stretch not already
closed?


No, its running fine (or as fine as that bit of the NLL ever does).

http://www.alwaystouchout.com/project/9 suggests the southern
part of the DLR route from North Woolwich to Canning Town will open on
the 16th December 2005 but there has been some press comment that this
might be earlier.


Again no, I'm afraid - the line will only open as far as London City
Airport. Construction onwards to North Woolwich (and on to Woolwich
Arsenal) has only just started and won't be finished until 2009. None of
this affects the North London Line.

The NLL closure that John mentioned is for the construction of the
Stratford International extension, running on the NLL alignment from
Canning Town northwards.
