DLR Service Disruption
 

Just been chatting to a friend who works at Canary Wharf. Apparently
around 4pm this afternoon the only DLR route operating was Stratford
to Lewisham. The DLR website currently shows:

NO SERVICE WESTFERRY TO BANK/TOWER GATEWAY (both ways). A very LIMITED
replacement bus service between CANARY WHARF & the CITY. Normal rail
services on this route not expected to be running until after 19.30

Does anybody know what happened?

Well worth a read for the sheer head-scratching bizarreness of it
although I can count myself among the local residents extremely ****ed
off at Excel for landing this on our doorsteps.

Pity the train didn't just drive off and drag that load of right-on
washed up losers under its wheels.

I'm extremely ****ed off that I was out in central London at the time
so I missed out on getting a look at the action!

Out of interest, where is "Canning Park"? I don't remember ever hearing
or seeing of that before.

Yes, and let's also have a big man with a gun at polling stations,
shooting people if they don't vote for the right party.

People at polling stations don't screw up services for other people.
If these muppets want to demonstrate fine, but if they make life
difficult for people who just want to get about their business (including
the people in the exhibition) they should be treated with contempt.
Inflicting your opinions on others whether they want it or not is hardly
democratic and personally I'm sick of these so called activists who seem
to think the voting booth isn't good enough for them and they need to
cause trouble instead.

Robin, there is a difference between voting for no-hope candidates (like the
Greens) or out-and-out morons (like the B.N.P.) on the one had, which is
everyone's democratic right, and causing law-abiding folk massive disruption
when trying to get to or from work. Personally I'd just treat the former with
disdain, but as for the latter I'd throw whatever the law allows at them.
