Although it shows all the junctions it doesn't name any of them!

I do apologize, Chris, I thought it would do... This might well be more to your liking... It does have the name of some junctions so could be what you are looking for - if not, well... At least I tried Link

I hadn't thought to look at CULG, which is odd given how useful it is for the quiz (it's the source of many of the date bonuses for example). Of the junctions I'm interested in here it has "Delta Junction" - the one definitey in this area and the one I knew, and "East India Dock Road Junction", but I'm not clear which junction this actually is.

Thanks anyway

Thanks for trying, but again there are no names other than Delta Junction.

I'm looking particularly for the names of:
The junction where the flyunder line diverges from the Westferry-West India Quay/Poplar line
The junction where the line to Poplar diverges from the West India Quay via Delta Junction (the route built for the Beckton extension)

Any idea what the "ISP" stands for/derives from?

I assumed that they referred to various InSpection Points where the member of staff on-board the train may need to check the state of the line ahead before proceeding. Most are referenced in the Working Timetables (have a look at my WTT thread).

For the junction names, that list is actually incomplete so I'll have an educated guess at naming some/all of them but you may need the Carto map handy!

JC2M - Canning Town Junction 2 (Merging points to Canning Town Platform 2 from Royal Victoria Platform 2 or West Silvertown Platform 2)
JC3M - Canning Town Junction 3 (Merging points to Canning Town Platform 3 from West Silvertown Platform 2 and potentially from West Silvertown Platform 1 or Royal Victoria Platform 1)
JC4M - Canning Town Junction 4 (Merging points to Royal Victoria Platform 1 from Canning Town Platforms 3 or 4)
JCAW - Canary Wharf Junction (Merging points to Canary Wharf Platform 1/2 from Westferry Platform 1 or West India Quay Platform 2)
JCRO - Crossharbour Junction (Merging points to Crossharbour Platform 2 from Mudchute Platforms 1,2 or 3 or Crossharbour Siding)
JCTM - Canning Town Junction (Merging points to Canning Town Platform 2 from Royal Victoria Platform 2 or West Silvertown Platform 2)
JCTX - Canning Town Junction (Crossover points to Canning Town Platform 2 from Royal Victoria Platform 2 AND leading from Canning Town Platform 1 towards West Silvertown Platform 1)
JNQM - North Quay Junction (Merging points to West India Quay Platform 2 from Poplar Platform 3 or Westferry Platform 1)
JNQX - North Quay Junction (Crossover points to West India Quay Platform 2 from Westferry Platform 1 AND from West India Quay Platform 3 to Poplar Platform 2)
JRMS - Royal Mint Junction (Merging points to Shadwell Platform 1 from Bank Platform 9 or Tower Gateway Platform 1/2)
JRMX - Royal Mint Junction (Crossover points to Tower Gateway Platform 1/2 from Shadwell Platform 2 AND to Shadwell Platform 2 from Bank Platform 9)
JROM - Royal Victoria Junction (Merging points to Royal Victoria Platform 1 from Canning Town Platforms 1 and 3 and potentially from Canning Town Platforms 2 and 4 as well)
JWEM - Westferry Junction (Merging points to Westferry Platform 2 from Poplar Platform 4 or West India Quay Platforms 3 and 4)
JWEX - Westferry Junction (Crossover points to West India Quay Platform 2 from Westferry Platform 1 AND to Westferry Platform 2 from Poplar Platform 4)
JWIQ - West India Quay Junction (Merging points to West India Quay Platform 3 from Canary Wharf Platforms 3/4 and 5/6)
