The Pontoon Dock DLR station is set for a major upgrade funded partly by TfL and other agencies to accommodate increasing passenger demand from new nearby housing. Current conditions are challenging due to the long staircase and heavy lift use, requiring repairs. Upgrades will feature six new escalators, improved public spaces, and a retail outlet. Construction is expected to start in summer 2024 with completion by late 2028, maintaining station operations during works. The upgrade also reflects the significant housing growth in the area.
The upgrade at Pontoon Dock station is a response to rising passenger demand due to nearby housing developments, which necessitates significant enhancements.
With plans for six new escalators and improved public spaces, the station's functionality will greatly enhance as it seeks to meet increased commuter traffic.
