I'm sorry but terminating the JLE at stratford was down to nothing more

money or lack thereof, don't pretend there was any great plan.

The motivations for the JLE route were serving Canary Wharf from Waterloo,
serving Canary Wharf from Stratford (DLR did not have enough capacity), the

The DLR had and has plenty of capacity mainly because it has a much more
frequent service.

Not true. The Jubilee from Stratford to Canary Wharf has 24 tph in the
peaks; the DLR from Stratford to Canary Wharf has 10 tph with
lower-capacity trains, and is limited by part of the route being
single-track.
