My point is that the DLR does a ****-poor job of connecting East London
to South London. In fact, it is only useful for that if you are only
interested in Greenwich or Lewisham. Needless to say, those who live in
Croydon, or Crystal Palace, or Sutton, or several zillion other places
in South London, find the DLR to be about as useful for getting to the
East End as a chocolate bicycle would be.
But it will all be better when the ELL reopens.

Except of course that the DLR will barely touch the ELL. The only
interchange with it will be at Shadwell, and the only other significant
interchanges will be Canada Water (for the Jubilee line) and West
Croydon. A link from the East End to London Bridge is still going to be
useful, simply because it will open up a much wider range of journeys
with minimal changes.
