It will be interesting to see if this switchover is on the critical
path or whether there is programme float on the DLR works.

Apart from rebuilding the platforms and replacing the track, there's
not much work to be done at Stratford so it's probably not that
crucial that it's been delayed.

The major works are at Canning Town where there putting in new access
to the platform and doing very major stuff to the junction, and at
Stratford International where the station is in a big box and they've
also had to widen an overbridge on the approach. These all appear to
be well advanced. There's not a lot of visible progress on the new
intermediate stations though.

I'm not
aware that there is any particular date that has been committed to in
2010 in terms of having the link in service. *Obviously it has to be
running before the Olympics but there's plenty of time between 2010
and mid 2012.

HS1 commuters have been promised the bus link from the station will be
very short term, so there's some pressure to get it open quickly.
