Greenwich is it really worth having it open?
Yes. It provides a vital link across the Isle of Dogs, in turn
connecting East London to South London without the need to go
through the centre.
Not sure if its been mentioned already , but did anyone see that
Inside Out program the other day which compared the idiotic closures
of lines for maintenance against the regime in Paris where they were
converting an entire line to automatic operation without disrupting
the service at all? Everything was done at night. They compared the
can-do attitude of the people there with the standard issue whinging
and moaning of the people from Tubelines. Sometimes its embarrasing
to be British.
Tune Lines -- the truly "British" company, wholly owned by Ferrovial and
Bechtel.
