Default DLR City Airport Extension

It should do - direct services will run every 10 minutes for much of
the working day, which is a better frequency than any of the Heathrow,
Stansted or Gatwick expresses (and every 14-16 minutes before 9.30 or
after 16.30).


Yes, but it's not an express. So a fairer comparison would be the total
number of trains. From Gatwick there are 12 trains/hour to London,
from Luton Airport Parkway to London around 7 trains/hour, so both have
a higher frequency.

I've used LCY several times and like the airport, but the new service
will only change it from being extremely hard to get to, to being very
hard to get to. That's an improvement, but not much.
