I see from the Crossrail site they are now referring to the station as
'Canary Wharf' and no longer 'Isle of Dogs'.

The press release for today's announcement refers to "the renamed
Canary Wharf station".

Is there any detail available yet about direct interchange between the DLR
and Crossrail here - it is the DLR station at West India Quay that is
immediately above, so could there yet be some renaming of existing stations?

The WIQ/Crossrail positioning is roughly a mirror image of that for
Heron Quays / Jubilee Line. WIQ will probably be slightly nearer that
DLR Canary Wharf, but not much.

Or will they stick with three totally separate Canary Wharf stations, and
have a pretty confusing set of 'outerchanges'?

Probably. Do you have a better naming plan?

By the way, I note that one of the new Crossrail maps shows "Heathrow
T1,2,3 and 4". Until now they have seemed reluctant to admit that
Crossrail won't serve T5, and indeed most of the maps still show just
"Heathrow" or "Heathrow Airport", and all of them show only one station
'blob'.

Canary Wharf West, Canary Wharf Market, and Canary Wharf Main Line!

There'll be as many as Actons before we know it,

Anyway, in keeping with Maidstone, the one furthest north should be
called Canary Wharf East, and in keeping with Canterbury, the one
furthest south should be called Canary Wharf East. This will avoid
confusion.

If the Canary Wharf were to be found west of London, then one would
certainly be Canary Wharf General...

It's important not to mislead the commuters, so they'll probably go for
"City Crossrail"; this would avoid confusion in later years when the route
becomes "FirstCapitalDissect.

And Dulwich.

the one furthest north should be called Canary Wharf East, and in

And Finchley.

the one furthest south should be called Canary Wharf East. This will
avoid confusion.

A flawless plan.

Perhaps Poplar should become Canary Wharf North East - might even be nearer
than Canary Wharf DLR?

Are you talking about the (carriage style) line maps? Most info published
about service patterns has fairly categorically been about T4 via T123 for a
few years now.

I'm talking about the route maps on the Crossrail site at
http://www.crossrail.co.uk/pages/routemaps03.html

That page lists the following ...

Route regional map May 2009.pdf - 209.7Kb
Route connections May 2009.pdf - 192.8Kb
Route connections with airports May 2009.pdf - 217.1Kb
Route linear map large print May 2009.pdf - 153.2Kb
Route linear map May 2009.pdf - 159.1Kb

.... of which only the last shows T1,2,3 and 4.
