The new DLR branch would include a new station the north bank of the river at Beckton Riverside. The area was part of the former Beckton Gas Works and now includes the Gallions Reach Retail Park, with plans in place for a new town centre and surrounding homes to be built there.
We also considered potential onward extensions of the DLR from Thamesmead to locations in Bexley, including Belvedere. While beneficial, these longer routes would add significant costs, without delivering significant amounts of additional housing or journey time improvements.
