ups.com... Dave Arquati thinks the opening date is 16 December 2005, but I wouldn't be surprised if it opened a few days early, or even a few weeks early! According to http://www.londonbusroutes.net/changes.htm , the 69 is being cut short to Canning Town on the 17th December, so they must be fairly confident the line will be open by then. -- John Rowland - Spamtrapped Transport Plans for the London Area, updated 2001 http://www.geocities.com/Athens/Acro...69/tpftla.html A man's vehicle is a symbol of his manhood.

Rob Smith The date I'd heard was Thursday 15th December, however a new timetable will be launched in Friday 18th November - presumably this will be the timetable that includes running to LCY. My guess is that from 18 Nov trains will run empty between Canning Town and King George V, with passenger service introduced mid-December. When the Lewisham extension opened, passenger running was introduced without fanfare mid-morning on a Saturday. The press & VIP opening was two days later. Al Holmes |

On the basis that Bank is probably a convenient station for most people to change to the DLR, it looks like a hell of a schlep to get to LCA. I think I'll still avoid it, and use Gatwick or Heathrow.

The direct service is 22 minutes (no changing). I think I'll still avoid it, and use Gatwick or Heathrow. You can get from Bank to Gatwick or Heathrow in less than 22 minutes? boggle -- Paul Terry |

If so, that makes a difference, yes. You can get from Bank to Gatwick or Heathrow in less than 22 minutes? boggle Heh! No, but it would take me 30 mins to get to Bank and then another, allegedly, 22 to get to LC. I can get to Gatwick by overground train in about 30 minutes. Ian |
