You raised two questions - platform 3a and then DLR. I have a good idea
about platform 3a but that is *not* in the public domain

Why not? It's hardly state secret - is it?

and I can't
share that info. *

Why not? Maybe Wikileaks can step in!

You then commented about multiple rumoured dates for
DLR to Stratford International and said we (the public) had not been
told. I simply pointed you to publicly available info from TfL that does
have a date.

Ooops my apologies!

We shall see if the team at DLR and their contractors meet
that date in due course. *I hope they do as I'm on hols then and a first
day ride would be very nice!

It would be nice to be able to approach Stratford International from
the Channelsea side!

I can't work out if you're being deliberately obtuse or you just don't
understand. *We have a code of conduct at work - if you breach it you
can be sacked.

Surely you have a duty to your customers?

I've had two scrapes with the press people over Oyster stuff I posted
here. To be frank I'm not going through that experience again.

If it ain't a state secret then I'm sure you will be able to tell me
when it is going to open!

No it ain't a state secret then I'm sure you will be able to tell all
of us when it's going to open, given you work for LUL!

So now we know you are being deliberately obtuse then.

As you well know Paul doesn't post here in any official capacity, and
people hassling him like this on here are only likely to result in him
backing away from, or just opting out of, involvement in this group.

'Company confidential' is as good as a state secret when breaching it
means your meal ticket's on the line.

Why on earth do you need to know so desperately anyway? The second
platform will open sometime soon, when it does you'll be able to go
and put your feet on the hallowed surface and discover that it's much
like any other platform, i.e. made of pink bouncy rubber and stuck
together with treacle.

I've emailed TfL directly, thank you.

I commend TfL on their speed of response (~2 hours!):

It would appear that both the Central Line platform and the DLR
extension will be opening in mid to late September.

TfL have just emailed me to say that it will open on Sunday 5 September.

Same here! But they only mentioned 3a and not the DLR extension.

Presumably the old platform 3 will close - or will we have the excitement of
dual platforms and both sets of doors opening?

I'll have further to go now to catch my tube

[sigh] I confess it's an addiction, going around photographing every
single LUL, NR, DLR and Tramlink station in the Oystercard Zone over
the last two years or so.

I've even made a start on visiting London's disused and/or never
opened stations (at present mostly in north and east London - south
and west London will be added when I have time!).
