Much as I hope you are right, I have a strong suspicion that this "ah,
you know what Stratford really needs, after the NLL being diverted
from Broad Street, the Jubilee and two sets of DLR, oh and the CTRL,
and that Crossrail thing. Yeah, that's right, another railway link!"
business will continue for decades to come. There are still plenty of
trains that don't go to Stratford yet: give them time.

Shall we all go along together, so we can pretend we're a train and
run along it together making chuff-chuff-chuff noises? I vote John
Rowland for being the whistle.

How come nobody ever pretends to be an electric train?

It's to avoid confusing the kids when they see that level crossing sign...
