I agree. DLR extension(s) south of Lewisham would relieve overcrowding
at Lewisham, which is a rail bottleneck.


You say 'bottleneck', i say 'hub' . Surely the solution is to increase
capacity at Lewisham, rather than making it harder for people to get
there?

How would extending the DLR south of Lewisham prevent people from
getting off/interchanging there in the first place?

There must be a big potential demand from wharf workers living in the
southeast.


It would have to be a very big demand to make cutting out Lewisham
worthwhile.

Do feel free to point out how the original poster suggested cutting out
Lewisham?
