Indeed the situation will be just the same as now if you're going into
town. If you're heading to Beckton or King George V, however, it will
become rather less convenient - since the first train could leave from
either the current DLR platform or the current NLL platform, and the
two are rather far apart!



Thanks. I guess the same will happen if you're going from Canning Town to
Stratford - which platform to go to.


No it won't be the same - the junctions are south of Canning Town, so
northbound trains will already have been seperated into Bank and Stratford -
you can only get over the Jubilee line from the high level (existing)
platforms. Think about the situation at Camden Town on the Northern line,
its just the same, with the complex crossings south of the station.

If there was room to the north of the station you could have had the
splitting junctions at either ends of the station, then all 4 platforms
could have a nominated destination.
