Was East India originally to be called Brunswick Wharf? I have the tube map 500 piece puzzle and it shows the Beckton extension under construction. East India is shown as Brunswick Wharf!

The July 1990 Journey Planner was the first to show Brunswick Wharf tinyurl.com/8bsurxThis continued to be shown this way for a further 8 issues. The name was changed to East India from the January 1993 map, still showing the Beckton extension as "Under construction". The next issue, December 1993 shows the line as completed but with the riding note "Docklands Light Railway Poplar-Beckton opens early 1994". |

I'm sure I read somewhere on the internet that the destination displays on the trains could show 'Brunswick', and it ended up being used when a train in a depot was ready for service, but I've never heard of 'Brunswick Wharf'.
