Does anyone know of a map of London rail routes that shows stations at a distance from the centre based on their typical direct rail journey time? I think there's something like this at the London Transport Museum. -- Michael Hoffman |

But the one at the Transport Museum actually does the distances based on time rather than distance. It brings up a question, though--why are there so many DLR stations at Canary Wharf so close together? It appears that West India Quay-Canary Wharf DLR are closer to each other than Leicester Square-Covent Garden! It is a pretty short ride. -- Michael Hoffman |

I believe that when the DLR was built, several of the stations were on islands and inaccessible from each other on foot. That's not a reason to build three stations, it's a reason to build the DLR bridge a little wider and put a walkway(s) along it. I think the multiple stations are to prevent extended dwell time at Canary Wharf from destroying the capacity of the entire network, but I've never seen this confirmed. -- John Rowland - Spamtrapped Transport Plans for the London Area, updated 2001 http://www.geocities.com/Athens/Acro...69/tpftla.html A man's vehicle is a symbol of his manhood.

I wouldn't have thought so - the Olympia & York development at Canary Wharf wasn't on the cards until after DLR construction had started. Canary Wharf station was originally built to the same size as all the other tiny original DLR stations were, but it never opened like that. -- Dave Arquati Imperial College, SW7 www.alwaystouchout.com - Transport projects in London |

It appears that West India Quay-Canary Wharf DLR are closer to each other than Leicester Square-Covent Garden! It is a pretty short ride. They are built on the former docks so there are stretches of water between each station. As there are few other bridges it's quite handy that DLR serves each individual dock. You should still be able to see some of the water, but as the area gets more developed it is slowly vanishing.

I was hoping there was one on the web, but looks like I'll need to go to the LT museum. Thanks -- Howard |
