Lots of them get off at Canada Water. I presume that they're heading for
the Jubilee line and Canary Wharf.


I've just noticed that a straight line from Bermondsey Station to Canary
Wharf Station pretty much goes through Rotherhithe Station. Does anyone
know why Canada Water was built at all?


I'd speculate that Rotherhithe is somewhat hemmed in by various
other buildings, and that there was a nice bit of emptyish space
at right where Canada Water is now; Canada Water is a bigger
station than Rotherhithe.
