Yesterday I was looking at the internet departure boards for the DLR
(DAISY) at Canary Wharf, and saw a "City Airport" train (no, not KGV) on
the boards (which I thought was odd). Looking more closely, it was meant
to be arriving at the easternmost platform, between Lewisham trains
(even more odd). I then tried to find it on some other departure boards,
and apparently this City Airport train came from somewhere beyond
Poplar, and called at all stations from Poplar south to Greenwich, where
it then disappeared.

Does anyone have a clue what this was? To me it seems like either (a) a
non-existent train, (b) a train short-turning at Greenwich with the
wrong destination listed or (c) DLR have constructed a brand new
extension from Greenwich to City Airport without telling anyone.

Can't explain why it was going the wrong way, but they are extending to City
Airport
