Great News! The DLR is being extended to Stratford International, which means that when the new section of track is opened, trains will run from Woolwich Arsenal to Stratford International - DIRECT! This will be very handy for catching up with friends who refuse to see the light and move to Plumstead. It'll also make getting to Stansted a lot easier, and then there's those Olympic Games that I heard someone talking about...
Opening in 'late 2010'!
Oh - make that 'Spring 2011'!
Wait, what's that? Okay - 'Summer 2011'!!
Yep, they've obviously hit a few problems along the way which have delayed the project. But it will be worth the wait, with a dramatically reduced travelling time to Stratford, right? Um, think again! According to TFL, it currently takes 22 minutes to get to Stratford from Woolwich (via the Jubilee line in Canning Town). Once completed, the new DLR route will get you there in.... 21 minutes. Wahoo! Still, at least you can avoid having to change trains....
