Poplar - you haven't given it a dot, but it has a four-track, two-island
layout, much the same as at Kennington, so perhaps you should.
Yes. IIRC the Stratford - Canary Wharf - Lewisham service uses the outer
faces of the platforms, giving cross-platform intercahnge with the Ban/Tower
Gateway - Beckton/George V service, which use the inner faces.
Here's another thing - you might consider somehow showing the four-track
nature of the Metropolitan north of Wembley Park; Clive explains it all:

But basically, if i've got it right, the line splits into fast and slow
pairs just after Finchley Road, with the slow pair going through Preston
Road, Northwick Park, Harrow on the Hill, and then heading to Uxbridge,
and the fast pair going past the first two stations and in to Harrow on
the Hill.
A bit of confusion here - the Met splits into fast and slow lines just south
of Wembely Park, with the slow lines in the middle and the fast lines on the
outside. Preston Road and Northwick Park have a single island platform
serving the slow lines. There is also a separate National Rail pair, used by
Chiltern.
At Harrow-on-the-Hill there are three island platforms, the southern one for
Chiltern, the centre one for the pair of northbound Met lines, and the
northern one for the southbound Met pair. North of Harrow the Uxbridge
branch leaves from between the northbbound and southbound Met lines by a
diveunder, and a flat junction takes fast Met terains across to what had
been the National Rail pair. This leaves the Watford line as the
continuation of what had been the Met lines south of Harrow. These have
platforms at intermediate stations, while the fast pair don't have usable
platforms until Moor Park, which has separate northbound and siouthbound
islands. So you basically have cross-platform interchange between Met and
Jubilee at Finchley Road and again at Wembley Park, and between fast and
sklow Met trains at Harrow-on-the-Hill and again at Moor Park.
