Sure, but completing on time is not the same as completing quickly. Any
fool can allocate twice as much time as necessary to a project and then
claim a great success when the project is completed on time.

So basically they can't win against the inevitability in your mind
that they'll make a mess of it then? Finished late - bloody typical.
Finished early - bloody typical.

DLR projects have in the main been regarded as successes - this one
meanwhile has obviously not all been plain sailing.

What an eccentric question! What makes you think I will complain if they finish a project early?

Problems with the control system / software.

But there's still snagging going on at various locations.

This week at Canning Town...

a number of paving stones have been removed at intervals from the
'down' platform edge after huddles of contractors were seen examining
them. An alignment/ gauging problem, maybe?

and both the new stairwell and the original one still have coloured
netting draped over them

This is clearly marked on numerous maps as opening in Autumn 2010. Its
Spring 2011 - what's the delay? CJB.

Defects at Canning Town more serious
Paving has been lifted in at least four sections of the new platform,
including one area full-width.
One DLR staffer says he thinks moisture has been seeping through.
