Its not either/or. The DLR runs into the city from the airport at
present and does so without the necessity of closing the silverlink. I
don't object to that (though would prefer a more comfortable ride),
what I don't see is the need to close the silverlink and put in the DLR
from canning town to stratford.


IIRC it's so they can be ready for when (or if) Crossrail eventually
takes over the NLL tracks between Canning Town and Silvertown.
