As of this morning, a lot of the clutter and barricades (platform
side) had been removed from the new Central westbound platform (3a),
though the concourse accesses were still blocked off by hoardings.
Anyone know when it will open?

So, how many platforms will Stratford have when completed? They now
seem to be numbered 1-17, but 4 and 7 don't exist, and 3a, 4a, 4b and
10a need to be added, making 19 in total, serving 18 tracks; is that
correct? Quite a change from when I first got to know the station in
the '70s, when 1, 2, 3, 5, 6 and 8 were the only ones which saw other
than occasional use. Even 1 and 2 were only used by the little-known
service from north Woolwich to Tottenham Hale.

Does anybody know when platforms 12 and the old 13 were closed, and
the part of the subway leading to them was bricked up? When the old
subway was being cleaned up, the wall removed and the steps up to the
platform re-built an old poster frame had been dragged out of one of
the doorways leading off this subway, along with some rotten wood, and
there was the remains of a timetable on it, which listed a few trains
to Hertford East from platform 12, but I couldn't see any date on it.
I always knew that the station, and the area in general, was going to
see a change in its fortunes. The station really was in a terrible
state at that time, despite the fact that it was only about 25 years
since the last refurbishment fot the Central Line extension and the
Shenfield electrification.

Yes - 4a and 4b seem to be used alternately in the normal weekday
timetable.

Yes, during the day (though frustratingly, not at the peak) there's a 5
minute interval service where one train pulls into one platform, and
another train pulls out of the other platform, which means that there's
always a train in the station, and no mad rush for seats with people
trying to get on while people are getting off.

I think I'm right in saying that during those times, there's only service
as far as Canary Wharf when running this system.

The mainline station platforms are numbered 1 to 4. Two extra fast
tracks, not served by any platforms, pass through in between the
tracks with platforms. A seventh track rises up in between platforms 2
and 3 to access Temple Mills Depot to the northeast of the station.

I presume the DLR station, being in a separate building, will have its
own numbers/letters (probably the latter?).

Separate building? Couldn't they have built the main station to take
the DLR as well?

I noticed
this as well. Am I correct in assuming that this will be part of a
Spanish platform system? If so, will either of the platforms be
exclusively for ingress or egress? Or will one or both platform afford
both embarkation and disembarkation?

I think the idea is to have one side ingress-only and vice versa. Not
sure which side though! There is a cross-platform interchange to
consider too (platform 5 for Liverpool Street).
