Because it seems absolutely crazy that they wouldn't have them. But I would think it would be worse to assume they would be there, and then finding out that they aren't. So I am operating under the assumption that I need to believe the published schedule.

Between the problems with the 'new' trains from 2008, the lack of any spare parts (even with cannabalizing one of the trains to make the 'new' ones), and the regularly scheduled maintenance, it's pretty rare to see 2 trains running at any time. Add in the awkward schedule constraints (with mornings being only for DLR hotel guests and the system shutting down around the fireworks due to proximity to the fallout), and it's a very unreliable system. No, you don't NEED to rely on it for transportation, but you really can't rely on it for anything at all.

Originally Posted By davewasbaloo Oh, I forgot about the voices of liberty carol, they are excellent too. But if world showcase has cut back, does that mean the Chinese Monkey king and Bafana the witch in Italy are now gone? They were cool. Dan, do you not find osborne lights OTT? That is what makes them sooooo cool.
