The DLR capacity is finite, and boats are the
obvious solution, but because the piers can
only be located on the edge of the estate, and
detouring via Greenwich is time consuming, a
monorail loop would be quite useful.

Can boats not cut through the docks?

That would be a lot slower as it's not safe to do any decent speed in
the docks, and they'd have to go through locks at both ends.

James Bond managed to do it quickly, but I doubt anyone else could...

I'll believe that when I see it!

MonoMetro Limited is said to be owned by architect Gareth Pearce and
three other partners. Is this the same Gareth Pearce who features in
http://www.guardian.co.uk/uk_news/story/0,3604,586889,00.html ? He
was variously described on that occasion as "virtually unemployed",
"inefficient", "arrogant and unreasonable". He now wants to demonstrate
his concept by linking Kensington High Street and Oxford Street by a
monorail *across Hyde Park*!

Are all monorail schemes run by loons?

Loons like Lyle Lanley?
