As I can see the first of the new platforms wasn't finished in time.
Any idea when it will finally open?

Has anyone got any pictures of the works - I've only seen brief
glimpses of the new structure

In time for what?

In time for what?

In time to meet previously announced launched date?

The first of the two new platforms was supposed to open Jan 2007 according
to:

They aren't quite as forthcoming woth press releases about delays, are they?

Well - it seems there aren't many photos, so I took some myself - you
can't see much - from inside the main building your view is relaly
just of a jumble of scafolding, and from the track you can see that no
rails have yet been connected from the main track to the new
platforms. See here for mo

Yep, I see that everyday. It looks like they won't finish it even in
February...
I wonder, what's going on here - they did not do much in mid-2006,
then suddenly started quick construction works, and now there seems to
be some kind of pause again...

I know next to nothing about construction, but I imagine the amount of
work one can see happening is not always proportional to the actual
work that's going on - some stages like wiring, inspection, approval
probably are less visible, but still crucial. Let's see what happens...

I know, I just can't wait for a new platform (I'm using old one twice
a day, and at least once during peak hour crush).

IIRC the various dates shown on the DLR website have never changed, despite
the work on site starting much later than the Aug 2005 shown...
