Default NLL Closure / DLR to Stratford International

Thanks Brixtonite, I did :-)


The ideal solution would be to build new DLR platforms high over the
existing NLL platform, join the current JLE island to the current NLL
island, and reroute the Londonbound JLE via the current NLL platform for
North Woolwich, so you end up with both DLR islands sitting on top of a very
wide JLE island. I think the A13 westbound slip road would get in the way of
the raised DLR track to/from Stratford ... but that sliproad is hardly
necessary, because the current eastbound sliproad could be made 2-way
without too many problems.


Nice layout idea - but I'm unconvinced about making the eastbound
sliproad 2-way. The angles would be horrific.
