Wonder how many people will do Stratford -> CW via Crossrail. Should be quicker than Jubilee line (especially if you are already on NR/Central line at stratford).
3ish mins to Whitechapel, then over the other side of the platform to CW in another 3 mins. Considering how annoying stratford station is to get around and the Class 345s have air con in summer, I think it will be pretty popular over Jubilee/DLR.
Jubilee Line will be a starter train at Stratford in the morning as where as the Crossrail trains coming from the west heading east will be busy already (at Whitechapel). The same reason as I noted above why The Liverpool Street High Level Starters will be busy in the evening peak with people thinking they can get a seat or a bigger piece of personal space.
In the evening one might head west to Whitechapel on emptyish arrivals from Abbey Wood before joining the crowded trains at Whitechapel to head east but given that there will be more trains at Stratford to choose from to head east compared to Whitechapel I can't see much pressure relief for the Jubilee Line to be honest in either peak.
