(2) My second group of savvy travellers are the Canary Wharf
commuters, what with the ultra easy interchange onto the Jubilee at
Canada Water.

That'll include my wife - we live near Dalston Junction and she commutes
to Canary Wharf on the 277, or 277/D6 if I drop her in Mare Street. The
drawback is presumably the cost - what will the fare be?

Dalston Junction will be zone 2, so that will be a zone 1&2 journey -
though if the rezoning of SHS into z1 hadn't happened, it would have
been an zone 2 journey in its entirety.

Details about fares have not been announced, but I expect the ELL will
likely follow the Tube fare scale, if so using Oyster PAYG a single
journey would be £2.30 peak/ £1.80 off-peak. A season zones 1&2
Travelcard is a bit more expensive, but would of course cover any
extra non-commuting travel.

And thanks for an alternative take on it from the Dalston perspective!
The Jubilee can be pretty heaving in the morning, so an alternative
route would be to change at Shadwell onto the DLR, though its
certainly not quite such a smooth interchange - as it's out-of-station
via the street! - and the DLR journey to Canary Wharf would take
longer. Despite the awkward interchange, the extended ELL at Shadwell
will offer a number of new journey opportunities.
