Presumably the old platform 3 will close - or will we have the excitement of
dual platforms and both sets of doors opening?


AIUI the latter. No platforms are closing.


The email I got is quite explicit on this point. It says:

} Westbound Central line train doors will now open on both sides.
} When facing the direction of travel, you should exit via the right
} side of the train to change onto London Overground and National
} Rail services or via the left side of the train to change onto the
} Jubilee line, DLR or to leave the station.

This, I suppose, begs the question: doors open on both sides of the
train at Barking, and soon at Stratford... anywhere else?

I can't think of anywhere else on LU where non-terminating trains do
it.


I can't think of any place that terminating trains do it. The only place
that I know of that opens doors on both sides is the DLR at Canary Wharf.
