Because then you'd have to staff every station, and one person isn't

cover all the shifts and then you'd have to install the gateline

crushes at the gateline and so on and so on....

I can't see anyone having a problem with more staff at DLR stations. Except

maybe the franchise operators shareholders. Who is running it this week
anyway?

Yeah - pity about the Ã‚Â£12M per annum staff only cost , let alone the
cost of running the gateline plus staff facilities (where do they go to
the toilet?) and so on.

(before you question it, Ã‚Â£30k per person, 4.5 people to cover 19 hours
per day all week, 2 people on duty at any one time, so 9 people per
station, 45 stations)

Yeah, clearly an impossibility as demonstrated by it being done by LU and
virtually every TOC in the country now.

And its not like the DLR has had to extend its train lengths twice and is
absolutely rammed so gets little income from the fare pot.

It's not impossible - it's a case of what you'd gain from the spend -
better revenue protection for TfL perhaps, but that's about it.

Using that logic ditch the gates at all tube stations. There would be MUCH
better crowd flow in the rush hour.
