The jubilee line already does that anyway from Canning Town. When you
add that to the NLL services there was already a more than adequate
service on that route.

As you well know, the purpose was to grow a network, not just provide an
increased frequency between Canning Town and Stratford stations.

walking

Thats what buses are for and the distances are pretty small anyway.

Perhaps your nearest Tube station should shut for the same reason? It
would certainly stop you complaining so much about the Tube.


- A more flexible network, with two branches both south and north of
Canning Town

Also a more complex network.

You're obviously in an even worse temper than usual today. Perhaps you'd
prefer that they'd just shut down the line instead of improving it?
Compare it to the huge rise in ridership of the Croydon trams, compared
to the infrequent services they replaced (eg, to Wimbledon), which was a
similar sort of project.


- A direct link to Stratford International

Which is used by precisely nobody.

And you'd obviously prefer that it stayed that way.
