Beckton branch station

In 1994, the proposed location was between Canning Town and Royal Victoria, adjacent to the Limmo Peninsula. [6] Given construction of flying junctions for access to the Stratford International and Woolwich Arsenal branches of the DLR, construction of this station is no longer possible. [7]

Woolwich Arsenal branch station

As part of the construction of the London City Airport extension in the mid 2000s, a gap in the viaduct due west of the western end of Royal Victoria Dock, between Canning Town and West Silvertown stations - was passively safeguarded for a future station. [8] Development is restricted by safeguarding for a future river crossing, and the area is surrounded by brownfield and industrial sites. [9]

In the 2010s, a new Thames river crossing was announced - the Silvertown Tunnel. Following the completion of the tunnel in 2025, [10] around 5,000 homes will be built on the site, and a new DLR station would be constructed. [11] [12] As part of the 2018 budget, the Chancellor announced funding for the DLR to support this and other development in the Royal Docks. [13] Funding for the station was put on hold in June 2021.
