The Royal Victoria Station is on the Docklands Light Railway (DLR) in east London. It opened on 28 March 1994 and is named after the nearby Royal Victoria Dock.
It is on the DLR's Beckton branch, in Travelcard Zone 3.
National Rail's North London Line ran parallel to the DLR between Canning Town and Custom House stations until the Stratford to North Woolwich section closed on 9 December 2006. Its tracks passed close by the DLR platforms, but there were no NLL platforms although this is near the former Tidal Basin station on the Eastern Counties and Thames Junction Railway.
During 2009, as part of the Canning Town DLR flyover and the new DLR line from Canning Town to Stratford, an engineers' siding was added to the Victoria Dock Road side of the station.[9]
On 1 June 2009 the Beckton branch was diverted onto the new flyover crossing the eastbound Woolwich branch and the branch to Stratford International. Constructed as part of the 3-Car Capacity Enhancement Project to serve Canning Town high-level DLR station, it oversails both City Airport and Canning Town low-level DLR station lines. (See main article Docklands Light Railway extension to Stratford International.) Formed from a number of different structures connected by a continuous reinforced concrete deck cast in situ the 330m long flyover allows DLR services from Canning Town station to Woolwich and Beckton termini to depart from any DLR platform.[10]
Connections
