Exactly! Why bother to say it. In fact, it could actually confuse
people because what could happen is that someone is using the DLR for
the first time at Lewisham to get to Canary Wharf. They see the first
train is for Stratford but the second is for Bank via Canary Wharf.

So, they hang around, waiting for the Bank train when they could've got
the Stratford one. And, I believe it'll get even worse later on this
year when the City Airport branch opens because I think there's plans to
include a Lewisham to King George V (via City Airport) route. So, you
could potentially have 3 different destinations, all going at least as
far as Canary Wharf together but people not knowing this and just
waiting for the Bank train.

Services between City Airport and Lewisham will only begin once the
Woolwich Arsenal extension opens; until then, services will run between
Bank and King George V.
