Apparently DLR staff have been a bit cagey about it all day. Reminds
me of when a bit of the platform fell off at Mudchute on marathon day
last year suspending all services south of Crossharbour on the DLR's
most important day of the year. I'd heard today that a train had hit
an 'object' though they said it wasn't vandalism or terrorism. Has a
train scraped the platform again? If so I wonder if there's an
inherant design fault? Police were at the scene in the morning but
they weren't there all day suggesting it wasn't a crime scene. I
noticed that the TFL website seemed to be in denial of any problem for
much of the day but the Live Departure Boards seemed really bizarre as
the ones at Mudchute and Bank showed every other train as terminating
at Pontoon Dock!

I have to say I had the best journey ever into work this morning
thanks to the incident. Some trains were starting at Mudchute so I was
able to get on without fighting for a space and had a choice of seats!
Not much fun for those south of the river though.
