As I can see the first of the new platforms wasn't finished in time.
Any idea when it will finally open?

Has anyone got any pictures of the works - I've only seen brief
glimpses of the new structure

Well - it seems there aren't many photos, so I took some myself - you
can't see much - from inside the main building your view is relaly
just of a jumble of scafolding, and from the track you can see that no
rails have yet been connected from the main track to the new
platforms. See here for mo

Snap - I've taken a few photos too, most of them from the same angles
as yours, but I didn't take any shots from the DLR train as you did.
Anyhow I don't think utl-ers need to see a slightly less good set of
near-duplicate photos so I won't bother uploading them (not that I
could do so anyway at the mo as I can't find the damn cable to enable
me to transfer them to my computer!).

A few weeks back when on a long cycle ride I went and poked around
Gibbins Road where the new side entrance to Stratford station will be
- it's quite a quiet residential area, mostly low rise small houses
with a high rise tower as well, quite a contrast to the hustle and
bustle of the main entrance to Stratford. I wonder how much the new
entrance will change this ambiance.
