Stratford - new DLR platforms
"Stephen Furley" wrote in message ups.com... On 8 Jun, 18:02, umpston wrote: The Great Eastern Railway (later LNER) ran passenger services from Fenchurch St. to Stratford via Bow Road for many years. The two bay platforms were intended for this but never used since these trains were axed in the late 1940s, and Bow Road station closed, before the Stratford reconstruction was completed. Stratford is the only station with more than two platforms I can think of where the lowest (1) and highest (15) numbered platforms are next to each other. How about Edinburgh Waverley, where 1 and 20 are together? Also, it must surely be the only station where four consecutivly numbered platforms, 2-5, have four different elextrification systems, at least for a few more days. Of course, it also had two other systems in the past. How are the new DLR platforms going to be numbered? I would suggest 4A and 4B if I was a betting man, as the whole station needs renumbering, but it would probably make sense to wait until all the alterations to provide new NLL platforms and the new westbound Central line platform are completed.

On second thoughts, don't place any bets, the platforms are already shown as 4A and 4B on TfL's drawings of the Stratford upgrades... Paul |
