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?


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.

Anyway, in keeping with Maidstone,


And Dulwich.

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


And Finchley.

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


A flawless plan.
