As for contacting my MP, tried it and had no reply. Twice. Not about this
issue, but on a request to provide an opening in the fence between exit 5
of the bus station and Canning Town, and Silvertown Way, so that people can
get to the taxi rank easily when they get off the tube without having to
somersault over the fence, or walk the long way round and miss the odd taxi
that might be there.

As a result, there are hardly ANY taxis EVER at that rank, because it's so
annoying to get to. It would be much easier if you are waiting for either a
bus or a taxi (whichever comes first) and can easily get from one to the
other without risking ones family jewels. An opening in the fence, and the
pedestrian crossing to be moved accordingly (as hardly anyone uses the
"main" exit at Canning Town unless they are fanatics of climbing stairs).

But that's for another post, another day. :-)

Come on, you know you want to. I presume you've tried contacting TfL
about it directly? There's also your London Assembly member and your
local councillor, although Newham can sometimes be, shall we say, rather
unproductive.
