Default Stratford - new DLR platforms

First of the new platforms will open Monday 18 June, with the other to
follow in the Autumn.


I went past it this morning. It would appear that they've installed
points in the line so that trains can be routed into the southern
platform. Once that's in use, the track into the existing platform will
be slewed to meet that in the northern of the new platforms.

In diagrammatic form:

Now:

After the new one opens:
