It did, however, recently (within the last couple of months) had a new
gateline installed.

And the model of gates they are using is completely new, and one that
I've never seen anywhere on the network.

Yes, they seem to have the yellow pads builtin to the main unit,
instead of being added on.

They'd also have to have had to replace all the signs pointing to the
exits at that end of the station because from what I could see, they
all pointed to 'Great Wharf Road'. Which was presumably what Canary
Wharf was originally going to call that road on the eastern side of
the estate before they decided on 'Upper Bank St'.

the 2 eastern exits at Canary Wharf Jubilee line station.

Cool. They'll probably have the lifts working by 2008.

Where exactly are the lifts? I always assumed they had them, but I don't
actually recall seeing any. Are they hidden? Or is it just my memory?

That's only 4 years after the rest of the line was opened!

Although, to be fair to them, I suspect the wait was more to do with the
fact that until a few months ago there wasn't really anything at that end
of Canary Wharf to make it worth while opening these exits rather than
them taking 4 years to install an escalator or something...

I wish they would hurry up and complete the Bow Water park, or whatever
it is called, and open the other exit at Canning Town station - *far*
more convenient, that would be!

For Canary Wharf?

I remember reading on here a few months ago that they wouldn't open
the new entrance until they got longer/more frequent trains. Whatever
happend to that?
