I wondered about the roundels in the station. Did all tram stops have a
plethora of roundels?

No - just the two sub-surface stations. These roundels were situated at two
levels - some for lower deck and some for upper deck passengers. They were
similar in size and shape to Underground station roundels, but in the
colours of a compulsory tram stop sign - the station name was in white
lettering on a black bar, across a blue circle.


I wonder why the practice of signs facing alighting
passengers hasn't been carried over to bus stops to this day.

Over the past few years, names have been added to bus stop flags, so that
they face *approaching* passengers - which is of considerably more use.
Some DLR stations on the Beckton line also have station nameboards that face
approaching trains, for the benefit of passengers looking out of the front
of the train.
