TfL have just emailed me to say that it will open on Sunday 5 September.

Same here! But they only mentioned 3a and not the DLR extension.

Presumably the old platform 3 will close - or will we have the excitement of
dual platforms and both sets of doors opening?

I'll have further to go now to catch my tube :)

AIUI the latter. No platforms are closing.

The email I got is quite explicit on this point. It says:

} Westbound Central line train doors will now open on both sides.
} When facing the direction of travel, you should exit via the right
} side of the train to change onto London Overground and National
} Rail services or via the left side of the train to change onto the
} Jubilee line, DLR or to leave the station.


This, I suppose, begs the question: doors open on both sides of the
train at Barking, and soon at Stratford... anywhere else?

I can't think of anywhere else on LU where non-terminating trains do
it.

I can't think of any place that terminating trains do it. The only place
that I know of that opens doors on both sides is the DLR at Canary Wharf.

Terminating trains open the doors on both sides at Morden, Golders
Green, Arnos Grove and White City.

White City?

I'd only ever seen it done there for terminators, but I don't spend
much time that way these daze. Would there be much point, ie wouldn't
all the people going in a particular direction be on the same side?
