Canary Wharf Jubilee Line Station - eastern exits
Just thought some of you lot might be interested to know that on Monday
at 1pm they're finally opening the 2 eastern exits at Canary Wharf Jubilee line station. That's only 4 years after the rest of the line was opened! Although, to be fair to them, I suspect the wait was more to do with the fact that until a few months ago there wasn't really anything at that end of Canary Wharf to make it worth while opening these exits rather than them taking 4 years to install an escalator or something... |

When I went on one of the tours of the station at the time of its opening they estimated three to five years before the East end opened, so they were just about right. You are correct, the reason given was that it would not open until completion of the development of the area. It does seem strange that it was fully fitted-out, even to the extent of having telephones fitted, I seem to remember. |

It did, however, recently (within the last couple of months) had a new gateline installed. And the model of gates they are using is completely new, and one that I've never seen anywhere on the network. Brad |

They'd also have to have had to replace all the signs pointing to the exits at that end of the station because from what I could see, they all pointed to 'Great Wharf Road'. Which was presumably what Canary Wharf was originally going to call that road on the eastern side of the estate before they decided on 'Upper Bank St'. |

Various posters on here were saying it was to deliberately regulate flow into the station. I was always under the impression that the buildings nearest to the eastern exit simply weren't busy enough to justify opening the eastern exit, but now that they are, it was good to do so, instead of waiting until 2006. Slightly offtopic: can the current Jubilee Line signalling handle seven-car trains? Brad |
