For the first time there is a direct rail link to the London City Airport currently from Canary Wharf. The line will eventually cross the river to Woolwich in SE London. A likely second link will be built to directly connect to Stratford to serve the Olympics site.
Jérôme will have no excuse for not using mass transit into the City - especially when the DLR station at Stratford International (Eurostar station opening 2007) is built too :-) *Lunatic*, n. One whose delusions are out of fashion.
Jérôme, it takes only 2h50' from Waterloo to Gare du Nord, and the return ticket costs only £59. When are we meeting? guaranteed to evoke a violent reaction from police is to challenge their right to "define the situation." --- David Graeber citing Marc Cooper
Yes, but SI is not close a DLR extension right to the railway station is planned for 2010. (This is a typical example of public transport investment idiocy I get mad about: when some new rail line is built without organising traffic connections at the same time. But better late than never!)

Actually, some trains (those with less stops) are now scheduled at 2h35m! But Jérôme IIRC once explained that his firm pays him the airplane ticket, and going to City Airport is still faster than the Eurostar even with the new CTRL-1-allowed times. (I saw that comment of his maybe a week late, so only answered it indirectly, now for the second time :-) ) *Lunatic*, n. One whose delusions are out of fashion.
Examples, using the Eurostar site timetable (due to a silly script, sorry no direct link), at-or-around 2h35m trains are:
