Now very straightforward. DLR to Canning Town and change to Jubilee Line
there.

In those days DLR did not run to City Airport.

I'm sure Peter was merely pointing out, for the sake of clarity and
for the benefit of those who're less au fait with such matters, that
the situation has now changed.

Understood.

Pre-DLR one could of course still get between the Canning Town
interchange and City Airport by bus - whether London Bus route 69 (not
sure when it started linking the two places though - perhaps on the
opening of the Jubilee line extension?) or by the dedicated airport
shuttle bus, though the latter was pricey.

We had luggage, so the bus, which we utilized, was not a great option.

When (if?) the new Crossrail station at Custom House opens, there'll
certainly be an opening (if not a need) for a direct bus link between
it and City Airport.

That probably depends how busy the Airport becomes.

Do you still have confidence that Crossrail construction will proceed
on a timely basis?
