To answer my own question took a chance and rove there yesterday - loads
of free street parking at any time nearby by Custom House DLR although I
wouldn't want to leave the car there overnight.

BTW, there's an overground line there too - but looks disused - is it?

Its the remains of the NLL between Stratford and North Woolwich that closed
last December? to allow for conversion into the DLR Stratford International
extension.

yes, i see that now. Can't help thinking that we really shouldn't be closing
down track these days.

Although it is being closed as part of the NLL, the formation through Custom
House and through the Connaught Tunnel is reserved for use by the Crossrail
scheme, so if that ever happens it isn't actually being closed
permanently...
