How busy is this route during morning rush hour. Thinking of doing this rather then Jubilee line.

Canning Town to Prince Regent will be the busiest section by far, can be very uncomfortable on that section on event days. But the section before that will be far quieter than the Jubilee line.

It's the start of the journey, so chances are pretty high (especially as unlike Bank, the train will normally be in the platform for a minute or two whilst the computer changes ends).

I would imagine they will leave typically with most seats taken and a handful of volunteer standees. Nowhere near as busy as parallel services departing Bank.

You'll almost certainly have a good chance of gettimg a seat.

I always go this way if I need to head out in that direction during rush hour - you're highly likely to get a seat. The train is often crush-loaded from Canning Town to Prince Regent, and it's not uncommon for not everyone waiting at Canning Town to be able to board.
