Any hint of when they might open?


Easter, allegedly. NRE reports a closure on 10 April (Good Friday).

Is someone getting their backsides kicked over the delay?


It's a DLR project and Network Rail are apparently the ones at fault,
so you'd hope so.


For the sake of people who don't know what this is about, the OP is
referring to the new (terminating) platforms at Stratford for the
North London Line (London Overground).

Stuff I've read elsewhere suggests that Network Rail failed to install
the connection from the current NLL alignment (west of Stratford) up
to the new platforms during the Xmas/New Year closure.

I guess this delay is preventing the DLR getting to work on converting
the low-level route as part of their Stratford Int'l Extension project
- though I dare say they may wisely have factored in some leeway here.
