: SNIP The only times it seems to suggest using Silverlink are if you put a Silverlink Station in as the origin...And even then it says to change to the DLR at Canning Town. Not surprised. The Silverlink seems to not work well on the Journey Planner website, I've been complaining about that since it started. Want a proof? Try typing in tomorrow 26 October, 13:10 STATION START: CANNING TOWN STATION END: CAMDEN TOWN Now, the Silvelink does it in 26 minutes. But the first option given is a journey involving two two journeys (Jubilee to London Bridge, London Bridge to Camden Town) and then a bus journey (Camden Town to Camden Road). Total: 48 minutes. It even chooses a route starting at 12:59! So complete and utter ********. You and I know that the Silverlink is the best service, yet it decides that it's the second best. There is a bias about the Silverlink south of Stratford on the site. It even gives as an option waiting 18 minutes (why?) for a Jubilee Line, missing the Silverlink from Canning Town and then getting the later Silverlink from Stratford. As you can see, the website is clueless about the Silverlink. If this is the data they rely on when trying to decide whether or not to close part of a service, no wonder they decide to close it down. I bet you those that make the decision don't live in Canning Town and use the line themselves, but probably in some nice big house somewhere greener. ****'em. I have never ever been approached or asked or polled about my decisions on that line or any line. I have never seen a poster saying "we are thinking about removing this section of the line, do you have any feedback". Just a poster saying the section is being withdrawn and ******** to ya. I'm bitter about it. Very bitter. |
