Now hell knows what the issue is here with structure gauge,

AIUI, DLR trains are narrower but taller than tube trains; i would guess
that means that a tube-gauge safeguarded route would be usable for the
DLR. Not sure how you'd actually dig the tunnel, though.

but MR are only making the point that the cost of underground lines
tends to be in the stations, there is therefor the suggestion that this
new branch would have no intermediate stations. Ie the trains would run
non-stop from Shadwell to CX.

Oh, now *that* is taking the ****.
