[edit] "elevated" sections

I've added the symbols to make the elevated sections clear, using the principle that 'elevated' in the case of the DLR means 'raised up on stilts'. Where the line section is just on a pre-existing bridge of brickwork and earth fill, then imho that is still a ground-level feature as you can't walk underneath it. It also makes clear that whilst the earliest format of the DLR was mostly elevated (in some form) the current network isn't as all the newer sections - except for part of the Silvertown link - are at ground level. There still need to be a few symbols created for the elevated junctions. --AlisonW (talk) 11:47, 21 December 2007 (UTC)

I would have to disagree, and say that route diagrams should use the principle that 'elevated' means running above ground level, ignoring the fact that you may or may not be able to walk underneath the elevated track. --Kevin Steinhardt (talk) 12:34, 21 December 2007 (UTC)
Well the difference is only a few stations; Tower Gateway, Shadwell and Limehouse. --AlisonW (talk) 13:06, 21 December 2007 (UTC)
