Presumably the best way they can see to reduce overcrowding on the 3-5
island. On the NR side the platform space is scarily narrow and very
difficult to move along at peak hours.

It looks as though it will give much better interchange from the westbound
Central Line to DLR (to Poplar, etc, when DLR moves to its new platforms),
Jubilee Line, DLR (Stratford International - Canning Town line) and buses,
while retaining good interchange from the Shenfield line to the Central
Line.

This change I did not expect but will be welcome when it appears, despite
the mess the station will be in while all this happens. There is a lot of
movement from the w/b Central Line trains in the mornings and most of that
goes down to the Jubilee and NLL platforms. AFAICT very few people take the
mainline to Liverpool St from there.

There's not really much point - once you factor in time waiting on the
platform at Stratford it's about as quick to stay on the Central Line to
Liverpool Street.
