Any date fixed yet, does anyone know? There's a tremendous amount of
work going on north of the existing Stratford station, buildings going
up and I think new bridges laid so that you can walk straight to
Stratford International.

Is that the work at the DLR station site, which is north of the main
station?

I suspect 'solomonsky' is actually referring to the 'proper'
international station, i.e. the one where Southeastern high-speed and
Eurostar services will stop at.


You would imagine the opening date will be Dec 2009, if the Southeastern
Highspeed services are going to stop there?

DLR Stratford International is 'expected' to open mid-2010.

Peter Masson (at least I think it was he) has posted of how there will
be some kind of minibus link between Stratford Int'l and Stratford
Regional/ the centre of Stratford when the Southeastern service starts
in December '09. Not ideal but better than nowt.

Lots of the building work immediately north of the station is
associated with the new 'Stratford City' development, which will mesh
with the Olympic Park a little bit further north. One will indeed be
able to walk directly between Stratford Regional and Stratford Int'l,
though I think it will be a route that passes lots of retail outlets
of course!
