Actually planning for capacity improvements should begin now (if it hasn't already) so that the capacity is there when (or ideally before) it is needed.

I saw a video on Facebook the other day of an S stock proclaiming it was going to Watford Junction.

There are multiple exits, but the one you want is either of the ones on Cowcross Street, which are the main entrances (the LU and Thameslink/Crossrail entrances face each other across the street, but all parts of the station are connected below ground). If you arrive on the eastbound London Underground the signs to the Elizabeth line will take you to the exit you need. The way out signage from the Elizabeth line will also get you to Cowcross Street. I've not arrived at the station any other way since several months before the Elizabeth line opened so don't know what the signage is like).
When exiting the station you want to head south. This means turning right out of the LU entrance on Cowcross Street or left out of the Crossrail/Thameslink entrance. If you have exited at the Turnmill Street entrance, turn right and then turn right onto Cowcross street and walk between the station entrances.

Epsom is in Surrey, a little way southwest of Greater London. I do agree though that this is not a place of obvious relevance to the Northern Heights

The B07s were not just more of the same trains but equally they were not as big a difference as between the B07s and the new trains (I can't remember if they've been given a name yet?). The DLR is extremely flexible which means it can and does change routes at the drop of a hat when required due to planned and unplanned disruption. Given this the trains will appear on all the routes at some point, even if they wont be in all-day regular service (although I think they will form the majority of the fleet when delivery is complete). For example I wouldn't be surprised to see some on morning peak Stratford-Canary Wharf/Lewisham services or running to Beckton when there are large events at ExCeL.

If its like the introduction of the B07 stock then at first they will be primarily operated on the busiest routes (Bank to Lewisham, Bank to Woolwich) but it wont be long before they're used on all routes.

Yes, that was my first thought - if it was supporting the rail then there would be no space between it, the rail and the pot. Then I wondered whether it was a temperature-related thing - i.e. the plate supports the rail when it is hot (or cold) but not when it's cold (or hot)?
