The committee's comments on ensuring "the Crossrail station is fully
integrated into the local transport infrastructure" would initially
appear to suggest some kind of full interchange with south eastern NR
lines and DLR - as you point out Dave this isn't realilistically
achievable.
Or worthwhile, really. The only useful interchange it would create
would be eastbound SET to westbound Crossrail, and even that's not a
very useful one.
If it were feasible, a DLR interchange could be useful for people
travelling from the west to London City Airport - but not necessary, as
there will be direct (albeit slower) alternatives via either Stratford
or Isle of Dogs - Poplar.
A Greenwich Waterfront stop will be the most useful interchange, as it
will feed in passengers well from both east and west. A bus station
would be better, but I don't know whether that would fit into the
surrounding development.
