For some reason, they also (at busy times) barrier the entrance to the
departure platform so that from the bottom of the Northern Line stairs
you then have to go all the way to the other end of the DLR departure
platform via the area between DLR platforms. I can't work out what
that achieves. Everyone still arrives at one point, but later.
