Star Lane DLR station

Star Lane DLR station

Star Lane DLR station, by 2010, will become a new Docklands Light Railway station in Newham, East London. It is part of the extension of the Docklands Light Railway over part of the North London Line between Stratford and Woolwich.

The area between Canning Town and Stratford has been identified for major regeneration and new development. The Lower Lea Valley master plan anticipates over 10,000 new homes and jobs. The Stratford City development for the Stratford rail lands will also provide homes and approximately 30,000 new jobs.

As part of the proposed (and now approved) extension, the now closed North London Line platforms at Canning Town, West Ham and the existing platforms at Stratford will be upgraded to DLR specifications. A third platform will also be added at Royal Victoria.

Four new DLR stations will be built at Stratford International, Stratford High Street, Abbey Road and Star Lane. All stations will be fully accessible for mobility-impaired persons.

This station is proposed to be an island platform under an existing footbridge. Some junction changes around Manor Road and Star Lane would be required with a small amount of land required on the corner of Star Primary School. A new pedestrian crossing on Star Lane is proposed. The existing footbridge would be replaced.

This extension is in anticipation of the 2012 Olympic Games, which London is hosting, and is part of the regeneration in this region of East London.
