Snap! ;-)

I had hoped that I might get here first but it was not to be! *

I see on District Dave that two DLR trains were spotted on 4/12/10 in
the low level platforms at Canning Town. Looks like the very early
stages of testing on the new line may have commenced.

The DLR system map now includes the new line in the dashed 'to be open
soon' fashion as such (perhaps it has for ages but I haven't noticed
this till now):

The potential for a degree of confusion at large seems rather likely
I'd say! I liked the poster on the DD forum who coined the phrase
'Canning Chase' as the game which pax at Canning Town could end up
playing when trying to position themselves on the right platform to
the catch the next Beckton or Woolwich (and LCY) bound train! Some
shades of Camden Town tube stn - something I'm sure I've mentioned
before. I hope the PIS is up to it (...'like trying to organise a PIS
up in a multi-platformed modal interchange'... er, I think that proto-
quip needs quite a bit of work before it might catch on...).
