2 great things happened at Stratford this evening:


1) an eastbound Central Line train pulled in EXACTLY as I arrived at the
station, saving a 10-15 minute wait or a walk to Leyton. Result!


2) I spotted the staircases at the eastern end of the platforms appear to
be operational but given point 1), I didn't get remotely long enough to
check them out. But they appear to get you from the westbound Central
Line to the London Overground platforms - I assume they'll also let you
out at the Stratford (old) shopping centre side sooner or later.


Yes it seems the easternmost corridor and stairs are now open for
business - I saw a post on a Yahoo group the other day. However they
will never reach the ticket hall or street according to the plans I have
seen. They simply provide more paid side interchange capacity.

Is the bit called "reopened eastern subway" the old route to the
depot? In that case, it always led to the street, but didn't have any
connection to the platforms.
