That's like claiming putting a stop on the DLR at Canary Wharf is
pointless because its close enough to Poplar.^

The DLR does have stops that are in any meaningful sense far too close
together - the three at the Canary Wharf complex being good examples
(though not Poplar). The main reason for this, I'd think, is because
of the massive demand - it reduces the chance of dangerous
overcrowding.
