Hmmm. So they can't drop down from the DLR viaduct
onto the NLL? More complicated than I thought then.
This would mean that the DLR would have to use the
NLL platforms, and departures to Beckton and to Woolwich
Arsenal could take place from two different platforms.


.... which wouldn't be so bad if the high level island was widened, so

that

its western edge was over the western edge of the present NLL platforms,

and

its eastern edge was left where it is. The high level island could then

have

escalators connecting to the present NLL platform, as well as escalators
connecting it to the Jubilee platform.


It took me a little while to work out what you meant (do you mean
eastern instead of western and western instead of eastern?),


slaps forehead Yes, I did, thanks. I'll try that again, in English.

but it's genius. Interchange from the Jubilee for
Cody Road DLR and for any eastbound trains
originating from Stratford would be a bit annoying though.


Hardly. Up an escalator - walk 10 metres - down an escalator. As for the
eastbound train, you would need to examine the monitor on the high island
before knowing whether to remain there or go down the escalator for the next
eastbound train.

True. Rushing for a train at Luton Airport Parkway with luggage is
infinitely more difficult - check monitors, dash through ticket gates,
up *4* escalators, across bridge, down flight of stairs!
