Given that currently there's a free bus to get you from Stratford
Regional to Stratford International, is the DLR going to be free between
the two when it opens?

Haven't heard anything to that effect. However, it's a good question,
given that I think the DLR will form the only link between Stratford
Regional and Stratford International for some time, as a walking route
will have to wait until more of the Stratford City construction is
finished.

I dare say that, initially at least, the DLR may be free between the
two for those who already hold Southeastern Highspeed tickets.

I think it's only free to SE ticket holders.

I haven't seen anything to that effect, but it would be a sensible
alternative to the very circuitous bus route. Once the walking route
through the retail development opens I imagine that all "free" services
will end.

Yes, but...

"Platform 11 for the SouthEastern service to Stratford International,
calling at Stratford International only" or something very similar.

That's like the announcements on the HS1 SouthEastern services; when the
main service was just to Ebbsfleet we got "This train is for Ebbsfleet
calling at Ebbsfleet only. The next station is Ebbsfleet.".

That wasn't the oddness I was referring to. the oddness is that it is a
bus, but I didn't hear that in the announcement.

Note that they carefully said "Platform 11 for the SouthEastern service ...
" . 'Service' being the operative word.
