# Went on it with my dad the weekend before last
All it really does is connects North London to the Dome in a slightly different way. Fairly good view of the dull end of London.

However when winter comes it could be quite a sight in the evenings when it gets dark (it's bloody high up!), and maybe more interesting things will develop around the Northern terminal.

# I wouldnt mind a bash on it
But that's like saying i want to travel on a super cool space rocket that connects the top end of wolverhampton's high street to the other. Not really much reason to go down that neck of the woods, aside from the dome, which in that case, the DLR is much quicker from where i am.

# The DLR's ace.
I like to sit at the front with my hands on the rail in front, and pretend I'm hang-gliding.

# i didnt realise about it until a few months ago
when they were wondering if it'll be open for the olympics or not.

and other people complaining about the cost to the tax payer when boris sold the idea on it being 100% privately funded.
