Remember that the existing line east from Stratford to Poplar and
Lewisham is also having major improvements to its platforms at
Stratford, which will increase capacity.


It still has a single-track section around Pudding Mill Lane, though,
doesn't it?


I think it does. However this branch will have *two* platforms at
Stratford once the redevelopment is finished, which will enhance
capacity.


One cannot deal with a bottleneck by increasing capacity elsewhere!

But i suppose this means that the single-track section is not currently
the bottleneck - it's presumably short enough, and the DLR's computers
smart enough, not to be.
