Such a disaster. The DLR extension cost 140 million on completion, not the budget. For the same cost as cross rail, London could have 114 DLR extensions, and that is without any economy of scale. Do they really think they are going to get 200 million passengers a year? Are they going to be charged the full cost of the tickets, or are some other suckers going to have to pay for the massive subsidy. The intestest is 1 billion a year. Add on travel costs. Divide it by a number similar to the JLE actual figures, and we are talking serious costs for a ticket. Are you going to pay 20 pounds a day to use it? 100 a week? 5,000 a year? Disaster Cross rail.
