Does anyone know what the "capacity enhancements" are in regards to
West Ham station? Is it just DLR conversion and upgraded jubilee
signalling or is there more to it than that? I know the C2C (LTS) lobby
group want improved signalling in the West Ham area for mainline
services too.

Cheers.

Surprised they haven't mapped out in that booklet the Marathon and the
Walking routes. After all, it has an impact on transport as well.

Weymouth? Why on earth are they having the sailing at Weymouth? What's
wrong with the Blackwater, or the Medway estuary, or even the Thames (yes,
i know, ships)? We've got some of the best sailing water in the country on
the east coast!

Bah. It's probably because it's too hard for all these continentals,
raised on the tideless Med. They should send them on a course up the Ore,
that'd learn 'em.

From Newham planning website

West Ham station will be modified to provide an extra entrance and ticket
office on the western side leading into the Olympic Park, via a pedestrian
ramp to the 'Greenway', the raised path above the northern outfall sewer
embankment.

I hope they improve the point where the Greenway passes under the
GER/DLR at Pudding Mill Lane. Last time I was there, it was _the_ worst
eyesore in all London!

If you mean the grotty waterlogged passageway under the outfall, that you
follow if walking the towpath, I definitely agree.

They have - scroll down that page, and look for the "Road Events"
document (which I think was Chapter 8). The routes are detailed in
there.

The entire area is an eyesore!

Ah, where it goes past a breaker's yard and round the back of a warehouse?
Yes, unbelievably awful.
