I don't quite follow this. *Both tracks on the West Curve are
northbound, one for each platform they might have used leaving West
India Quay.


Between the flyover and the west curve there's a short section where
the two westbound/northbound tracks run alongside the eastbound/
southbound track from the flyover. The three tracks then go around the
West Curve together and into their respective platforms at West India
Quay. The plan is to replace the northernmost track with a ramp down
to a diveunder under the East Curve.


Southbound trains use the flyover. *Is the idea to leave the flyover
in place until the divunder is built (on the space reclaimed from one
side of the West Curve) and then demolish the flyover?


No. The flyover is untouched. Southbound trains will use the West
India Down Viaduct to go over the Beckton Link Vaiduct (as now) then
almost immediately use the new dive under to go under the East Curve
and into Canary Wharf.
