Will you address urgently the inadequate public transport in the Wapping area during the East London Line closure, in view of the following problems. Many residents now rely on the 100 Bus, which is infrequent, late and over-crowded. The 'replacement bus service' does not provide a reasonable interchange with Whitechapel station and the District/Hammersmith and City line, making it of little value. Furthermore, on the weekend of 1st/2nd March the District Line, Circle Line and DLR were all closed, so that the alternative stations of Tower Hill or Shadwell have been rendered useless, effectively leaving a whole community stranded.
