Less welcome is the fact that passengers on the Stratford branch now

The interchange isn't the world's most arduous.


John, have you ever tried changing at Poplar? It's hard work...
there's at least 5 metres to walk across the island platform, plus the
trains often pull in to the platform at the same time...

Nonetheless direct services all the way from A to B will always be
attractive I suppose.


And still the only branch with no service to the city.


Luckily, there are big blue trains with rainbows on the side, or small
white trains with red doors if you prefer, that will do that job for
you. I think it's fair to say that Stratford/City links are not a
major problem...


Quite!

Though of course pax bound for the City from other stations on the
Stratford branch will indeed have to change at Poplar, though it ain't
hard.

Taking into account the posters email address... City-bound folk from
Bow Road could of course just get on the District line.
