Not exactly. You're forgetting the Stratford International bit.[/i][/color]

I doubt it would have been beyond the wit of man to realign or branch off
the original straford line to serve there. Even when the NLL served these
stations they were allegedly poorly used. Who the hell is going to use them
now when the service stops at stratford int? People going into london will
just change at canning town or go all the way to Bank.
