The Future is Blue
Taken with my new Sigma 10-20mm. Converted to black and white, toned and levels adjusted in Elements.
Canary Wharf Tube station, part of my daily commute.
Above ground, there is little sign of the vast interior: two curved glass canopies at the east and west ends of the station cover the entrances and refract daylight into the ticket hall below. A public park is located between the two canopies, above the station concourse. It had originally been intended that the infilled section of the dock would be reinstated above the station. However, this proved impractical because of technical difficulties and the park was created instead.
As with the other below-ground stations on the Jubilee Line extension, both station platforms are equipped with platform edge doors.
Canary Wharf station has increasingly become one of the busiest stations on the network, serving the ever-expanding Canary Wharf business district. Although it shares a name with the Docklands Light Railway station at Canary Wharf, the two are not directly integrated (in fact, Heron Quays DLR station is nearer at street level, and recent Transport for London maps now show this[5]). All three stations are connected underground via shopping malls.
Canary Wharf can act as an intermediate terminus for eastbound Jubilee Line trains. When trains terminate at Canary Wharf, they can enter either Platform 1 or Platform 2 (using a set of crossover points west of the station)
The station was used as a location for some scenes of Danny Boyle's 2002 film 28 Days Later.
