TfL Board gives approval for next step for DLR Stratford extension

(I imagine providing access to the Dome from aforementioned areas also had something to do with it...) Surprisingly no - the Jubilee line was planned and well under construction before the Dome was conceived. The Dome was basically sited so as to be next to the Jubilee line (IIRC Birmingham NEC was another proposed location). Obviously once the Dome was confirmed for 2000 it then became critical to complete the Jubilee Line in time - original completion date at the start of construction was March 1998, but it slipped behind for various reasons. The press tended to present the Jubilee line as being built to serve the Dome, but it was never that way. |
