... is good news indeed for us here in Woolwich and environs.

Fingers crossed for *TowerGateway- in the best DLR tradition of

Definite information being given out now that it's 2 March. Service

Something I didn't pick up on before is this "horseshoe" platform with
separate arrival and departure. How can that work in the space? I
obviously wasn't paying attention.

Or maybe they just mean single track, out one side and in the other
side, and a concourse at one end. That must be it. For a minute I
thought it meant trains running round somehow ...
