Well, it doesn't yet, and it may be a while before it does. It would probably be wrong to show the link as an interchange, anyway, as it's much further than the actual interchange at Canary Wharf. Just because a route's walkable doesn't make it an interchange. Archway to Upper Holloway is shown as an interchange (or outerchange) on the latest tube map, and that's further than the circuitous walk route available now from Poplar to Crossrail, and much longer than the future directish route. Yes, but that's the best available link between the Northern line and the GOBLIN. It's not good, but it's better than nothing. The situation at Canary Wharf is entirely different, as there's already a good interchange between the DLR and Crossrail. Why confuse the situation and clutter up the map showing a less good walking route? By that logic, you could add dozens of second-best links between already well-connected lines to really ruin the increasingly busy map. That makes sense for the tube map. But what about the in-car line guide on the Crossrail trains? Would "Walk to Poplar for DLR to City Airport" not make sense on the Canary Wharf blob there? No: "change here for the DLR" would be the right message. |
