Hmmm. So they can't drop down from the DLR viaduct
onto the NLL? More complicated than I thought then.
This would mean that the DLR would have to use the
NLL platforms, and departures to Beckton and to Woolwich
Arsenal could take place from two different platforms.


.... which wouldn't be so bad if the high level island was widened, so that
its western edge was over the western edge of the present NLL platforms, and
its eastern edge was left where it is. The high level island could then have
escalators connecting to the present NLL platform, as well as escalators
connecting it to the Jubilee platform.

It took me a little while to work out what you meant (do you mean
eastern instead of western and western instead of eastern?), but it's
genius. Interchange from the Jubilee for Cody Road DLR and for any
eastbound trains originating from Stratford would be a bit annoying though.
