Any chance the Air Line will open in the next two weeks?

Here's an oddity I have not yet seen mentioned.

On the Tube map 'Emirates' can now be seen right next to 'Woolwich Arsenal'.

The only date I've seen was the 2nd July but that was still subject to
confirmation and was a by-proxy reference in any case (it was a London
Service Permit application for a tour bus to start visiting it when it
opened).

Diamond Geezer on his blog suggests it will be earlier otherwise there
would be no point in this release of the tube map, but in that case I
could use Shadwell DLR station as a counterpoint where the January map
claimed it would be going step free in January whereas in fact they'd
finished all the work by late November or so.

That was a bit abrupt - so here's some more info from a BBC London news
report (video) from mid-May:

And if proof was needed that I don't know what I'm talking about, one
week and five days later...

I see ads in yesterday's Metro saying "Inaugural flight 28.06.12".
