Visitors to World Travel Market are advised that London Underground is
currently experiencing delays on the Docklands Light Rail (DLR) between
Bank Station and Shadwell Station.

1) I heard something very similar yesterday. Is there any relation
between the 2 incidents?

I expect it's like the travel news I heard in Sunday that said trains were
disrupted because of works to the Bradway tunnel (south of Sheffield).
Yes, they would be, the tunnel's closed for three months! But somehow they
made it sound like it was just that day.

The DLR seems to be permanently borked in the vicinity of Excel.

Yes... don't get me started about the BBC travel news and railways. They
seem to be incapable of doing any more than parroting what one TOC tells
them. For instance (I can't remember the exact words) "SWT trains are
replaced by buses between Southampton and Basingstoke." Well, if SWT
trains are replaced, what's happening to XC on the same route?
