Ah, now i think what needs doing here is an entirely new bit of line
building, from Dagenham Dock, via what will be the Thames Gateway

more sensible route for the Docklands branch of Crossrail - after Isle
of
Dogs, i'd go Canning Town, City Airport, Gallions Reach, Creekmouth,
Barking Reach, Dagenham Dock, and on to Grays.

You could maybe build this as a branch of the DLR.

DLR are applying, under Transport & Works Act, for powers to build a line
from Gallions via the Barking Riverside Development Area to Dagenham Dock.
