I cannot understand why the DLR thinks these announcements are an improvement on what we already have.

Operating 2-car trains on the Bank-Lewisham branch will be horrendous, they are already much more crowded because of the suspension of the Stratford-Lewisham service

Where is it being widely reported? I can only see news stories online that repeat the claim that the books were removed from the children's section.

The Lewisham branch has just been closed for two consecutive weekends, including the bank holiday, and in the coming weeks it will be closed for three weekends out of five. It really is making life very difficult and inconvenient.

On the day the ban came into force there were two e-bikes blocking the doorway when I got on an EL train at Canary Wharf, they alighted at Whitechapel, I would like to think they were spoken to when leaving the station.

BTP has tweeted that it is working with TfL to investigate the incident, the truth should be known soon enough. https://x.com/btp/status/1715752236876185619?s=61&t=rJFhE5jm5_aTj92ux9CUAA

A family member lives in one of the properties on Marine Parade, they say the intensity of the vibrations through the building when waves crash against the new wall during stormy weather feel much stronger than they used to.

People travelled, studied, worked and lived in Europe before the EU. Maybe you are too young to remember that?

The ship has sailed on the "if" part.

It's well on the way with the Euro, national governments have to get annual budgets approved by Brussels which can be vetoed, as Greece knows only too well. And then of course there's the EU army, which we were told was "a dangerous fantasy", but will soon be a reality. What kind of trading...

It's an ideological thing which you seem unable to grasp. I am resolutely against being part of a political entity called the United States of Europe, if the rest of Western Europe is happy with that so be it, but thankfully we will now go our own way.

I would refer you to Enthusiast's latest post above, they very eloquently describe my feelings to a T. I don't think there is anything more I could add. And the good news tonight is that the Lords have caved in and passed the Brexit bill.

Along with Amsterdam they created the modern EU, which has become a political union that I despise. And within a few days we will have left, so as far as I am concerned it's job done.
