Default More DLR Extensions

True, but the three stations (Tower Hill, Tower Gateway and Fenchurch

interchanging. (Was there a reason why they didn't build DLR right up to the
concourse at Fenchurch Street?)


I don't know the answer, but considering how close the stations are to
each other, it's a shame that there's no 'proper' interchange without
having to descend to street level...

How close to Moorgate are the DLR platforms? And don't the end pointing to
the north already?


There's a single-track headshunt to the north-west (IIRC) of the Bank
DLR platforms which extends quite a long way towards Moorgate (I
suppose it's where the TBM ended up). But, as has been discussed before
when deciding what to do with the Moorgate Thameslink branch, how are
you going to get the trains up to sub-surface level between the end of
the headshunt and the platforms at Moorgate?
