You must admit though, the front of that train looks appalling. What are Siemens trying to make here? As for the interior, I love it.

Yes, it looks awful. Also, Siemens trains are often noisy, heavy and not made in Britain, and seeing as the Tube has been pretty much the only place buying British built trains recently, it'd be nice to keep the people of Derby in business.
I visited the National Maritime Museum a couple of months back, and was very disappointed.

Being in London actually I'll use the Dangleway the first time. It might be a tourist attraction rather than a commuter option, but as I'm a tourist it's seems OK :-).

Just curious. Can you take a bicycle on the dangleway?
The south bank stretch from the Woolwich ferry to Greenwich foot tunnel is a fascinating mixture of old and new, developed and industrial wasteland. And there's quite a good round trip to be done, Stratford, Greenway, Woolwich, Greenwich, Limehouse, Stratford. Just a shame there's no easy way to include Trinity Buoy in the route due to various locked gates and closed footpaths.

Yeah, undercrowding rules. Had a cabin on my own *g*. I nearly had the whole Dangleway on my own (but I think this isn't very surprising for the readers of this blog...).

You can also take the Thames River Bus from the Greenwich O2 to the Tower and Westminster.

How on earth can you take a bike up there? Who made that ridiculous decision?
Is there a single part of London left that the selfish cyclists haven't yet ruined for the rest of us?

Simon: I selfishly took my bike over the Dangleway a few months ago. The seats fold up (an attendant did this for me) and there's a little belt to keep it from falling over. Fortunately I didn't inconvenience any other passengers because there weren't any.

There is a large Chinese supermarket in Silvertown http://www.loonfung.com/ourstores_sil.htm which has a very good cafe. Well worth the trip down through that desolate area. Highly recommend a cycle from Greenwich over the Woolwich ferry, swift Chinese and back via Dangleway. Very interesting riverside areas and very contrasting. Hope to take our narrowboat down the the Royals in January - that will be another attraction over that weekend although we don't normally do guided tours. Last year we could clearly see each pod and tried playing 'spot the passenger', for money.

Glad to see someone (you), eventually calling the Dome, the Dome. It's such a more apt title and if I were an O2 executive (is that the nomenclature?) I would have called it it the 'O2 Dome'. It's a dome.

Reading through the Siemens PDF files about the Inspiro tube train, they say the train if fully air conditioned. So if TFL buy them, air-con in the deep level tube trains at last, I wonder.

Takes two to air-con. By which I mean that air-con on the train is only half the problem. You still have the problem of the hot air being in the tunnels.
Anyway, the best reason I can think of to go anywhere near the Dangleway, is to walk the Thames Path. Stuff the cablecar - not bothering with that. At least not until it finally gets added to the Travelcard zones.
