there are abandoned platforms at Charing Cross and some tunnel

DLR trains are almost certainly too big to fit.

I'm confused. Are DLR trains bigger than tube trains?

Yes. In particular, DLR stock is about half a metre taller than tube
stock.

Okay, didn't realise that. I suppose i think of DLR stock as wee little
midget trains. Thinking about it, though, given that tunnels weren't
really part of the original plan, there was no reason to make them any
shorter than the mainline trains whose alignments they inherited!
