It looks as though it will give much better interchange from the
westbound
Central Line to DLR (to Poplar, etc, when DLR moves to its new
platforms),
Jubilee Line, DLR (Stratford International - Canning Town line) and
buses,
while retaining good interchange from the Shenfield line to the Central
Line.


This must be the first LU example of two platform faces for capacity
reasons rather than for terminating trains (DLR already offering both
intentions in the same station at Canary Wharf).


Being unfamiliar with Stratford, I'm trying to understand the level
changes in the diagram. My impression from the diagrams is that currently
access to the Jubilee line is directly from the existing ticket hall, but
access to the current NLL/new DLR cannot be, because the tracks pass over
the hall. So how do you reach the new DLR platforms?

There is a mezzanine deck (yellow on the diagram) above the existing NLL
platforms, if you come through the Jubilee line gateline you go up to this
level and then to your right and down again, to get to the eastern gateline,
and exit towards Stratford. Access to the new DLR platforms appears to be to
the western end of the mezzanine deck, and on the same level.

I can see it getting quite complex with all the gatelines and Oyster readers
necessary.....
