Anyone know what the plans are for the District line platforms at
Whitechapel?

There are two island platforms, originally numbered (I presume) 1 to
4. Plat 1 is the eastbound. The track has been lifted at plats 2 and 3
and the trackbed has been fenced off at both ends of the station. Plat
4 has been renumbered plat 2. This platform has been widened outwards
so the track has been re-aligned. The old wooden canopy has been
extended to the platform edge by a new modern canopy along its length,
looks very odd!

Just wondered what the space in the middle will be used for since the
platforms have been renumbered.
And what have they done to the front of the station. Didn't it have a
proper canopy covering the full width of the front? Now it has a
couple of small glass protrusions above the entrance, hardly giving
any protection from the elements.
