Default Silverlink south of Stratford soon RIP?

I took the Silverlink from Canning Town, my local station, last Saturday to
go to Camden Market, when I saw a poster saying that unless anyone objects,
the Silverlink will only go from Richmond to Stratford in future, as from
November 2006.

The period of objection was some time last year. But I can't remember
seeing that poster before, I certainly did not see any posters at all in
the main concourse about it, or people handing out leaflets or asking
opinions, and I used that station every day. I didn't see anything in the
Newham Recorder either, which I buy and digest every Wednesday.


The appearance of closure notices was reported here last October by John
Rowland:

And as for these Stratford High Street / Stratford International
stations, will it be relatively easy to jump onto the Silverlink from
these stations? Probably not.


That's why the DLR extension will also stop at the existing Stratford
station.
