Default Travel hiccups on the way to travel trade show

"Rail disruption causes WTM chaos

Major disruption on the Docklands Light Railway this morning
caused chaos for visitors to World Travel Market in London.

On the opening day of the show, hundreds of exhibitors and
visitors from around the world experienced the capital’s
transport system at its absolute worst.

DLR staff were unable to explain the reasons for the problems,
which saw hundreds of people stranded at Canning Town. A later
announcement on the DLR website blamed a faulty train at Royal
Albert.
....
Other disgruntled visitors to WTM described the transport chaos
as a "farce" and questioned the message it gave to those from
overseas about the ability of London to effectively host the
2012 Olympics."

Sounds much the same as when I went to the Motor Show at Excel a couple
of months ago
