Well, if it goes ahead I can promise you one thing; it won't silence the Daily Mail's "Bring on driverless trains like on the DLR. That'll teach the unions!" commentards.

Well the strike is on and TfL have arranged a "Vintage Bus Rally" to supplement bus services at peak times on key arteries / links that parallel the DLR. Also a bus shuttle from Canning Town to Excel will operate using hired in buses.

On my way through Canning Town this morning (school trip to Aquarium!) I saw DLR trains reversing there.

When I passed early afternoon, there was a train in the northernmost platform at Poplar showing a "Prince Regent" destination, but no evidence of movement. Poplar station itself was shut and had a picket line.

World Travel Market at ExCel would be the reason for the limited service.

World Travel Market at ExCel would be the reason for the limited service. Quite possibly. There were quite a few people in the train that I saw. |
