At Barking District line trains open their doors to platforms on both

This is correct. WB District line trains stop on one side of the Up
island platform allowing cross-platform interchange with Up c2c
services. On the other side of the WB District line is the Down Grays
via Rainham line, then the island platform, then the Up Grays line.
(not sure of correct nomenclature but YKWIM).


Are you sure?

IIRC it's the eastbound District Line that stops on one side of the
Down island platform. And on the other side of the EB District Line
is the GOBLin island. There's no cross-platform interchange between
the District and the Grays via Rainham line at all.
