I thought the plan was for a Beckton - Stratford Intl service, I do hope
so....now that will be handy.

Currently, stations from Poplar to Canning Town are served with 12tph.
At Canning Town the Beckton and KGV routes diverge, with each terminus
receiving 6tph. After the new Canning Town Junction is completed
services from Stratford International to Beckton and KGV will be
started. AFAIK stations from Stratford Intl to Canning Town will also
get 12tph, with the service diverging at Canning Town LL as it does at
Canning Town HL to both Beckton and KGV.

Basically, this will result in both the Beckton and KGV branches
getting double the service they do now without forcing more trains to
traverse the junctions at Poplar and West India Quay; it also provides
a much more frequent local service to stations along both branches, and
also increases access to the Jubilee Line for commuters heading for
Canary Wharf.

If the Dagenham branch of the DLR is built then the Beckton route will
get 18tph, with the Dagenham trains reversing via the Canning Town
siding, so if you do in fact live on the Beckton branch, you'll
eventually be "in like Flynn" ;-))
