They both do already, though in the future the DLR will go to Stratford twice. While we're on the subject, can trains from Stratford on the new route head west at Canning Town, AIUI no - not without reversing at least. This will still require a complicated junction south of Canning Town, replete with a flyover for grade seperated movements. This PDF illustrates the planned service pattern: http://developments.dlr.co.uk/pdf/extensions/SIE%20Proposed%20frequency%20Changes.pdf and can trains from the west head south at Poplar? No without reversing again. But trains from the west - from Bank/Tower Gateway already head south directly from Westferry to West India Quay and to anary Wharf and points south. See the DLR map (PDF): http://www.tfl.gov.uk/dlr/pdf/network/zones.pdf DLR plans to remodel the North Quay Junction - that at the nexus of Westferry, West India Quay and Poplar - adding a fly-under for services travelling southeast-bound from Westferry to Canary Wharf, which would miss West India Quay because of practical reasons. This would mean there were less conflicting movements at North Quay Junction. Read more at Dave's site: http://www.alwaystouchout.com/project/30 This fly-under wouldn't change the fact that trains from the west couldn't head south at Poplar - if you look on a map or visit on the ground you'll see that Poplar station is too far to the east for this to be possible. |
