Renwick Road is a proposed railway station between Barking and Barking Riverside on the under construction Gospel Oak to Barking Line Extension. The station was proposed during a consultation of the Gospel Oak to Barking Line extension as part of Alignment B, which was eventually chosen as the preferred option.[1] The station can be built at a later stage with the site safeguarded for future building of the station.[2]

History

In August 2017, the Government granted permission for the extension to Barking Riverside, safeguarding provision for a stop at Renwick Road and stating that a further extension across the River Thames should be likewise provisioned as necessary.[3][4]

As part of the preferred route, a stop at Renwick Road on the London, Tilbury & Southend Railway was safeguarded for future construction. An alternative site near Alfred's Way was rejected, and all other options such as the nearby Freight Yards were considered unfeasible. The station would lie east of the proposed merge / diverge points with the Essex Thameside (Tilbury Loop Line) line along which c2c services operate, so whilst the station would not provide an interchange with c2c services, nor would the station's construction disrupt those services.[2] The new station could generate 5,000 homes according to the document.[citation needed]
