It’s way to expensive to be anything other than a novelty.
What a waste of money it was. For a similar price we got 13 miles of DLR
But a few of Boffo Boris!’s chums made quite a bit of dosh from the public purse, so who’s to say it’s all bad?
i fucking love the DLR, i hope we get to see a future where light rail becomes more widespread in london
I feel duty bound to say that the DLR came about because Thatcher was trying to cheap out on a jubilee extention and that there’s been much more cost since the initial cost to bring it up to the current level of operation.
That’s not overtly a criticism perhaps a cheaper MVP that you can get over the line politically and upgrade along the way might be the right way to do it but I wonder if it would have been cheaper to do it at the start
