Bow Road railway station

Bow Road railway station

Bow Road railway station was a former British Rail station in Bow, London. It was situated near to Bow Road tube station in East London, on the opposite side of Bow Road.

It opened in 1892 as a Great Eastern Railway station, between Burdett Road (also since closed) and Stratford. It was closed on 7 November 1949. Today the platforms and the station building remain on the east side of the railway viaduct in Bow Road (aka 'Ferrodo Bridge'). The short line it is situated on, between "Gas Factory Junction" on the London, Tilbury and Southend Railway and "Bow Junction" on the Great Eastern Main Line, has since been reduced to a single track and is used only for emergency diversions and stock moves.

Just to the east of Bow Road station was Bow railway station on the North London Railway, which has since been replaced by Bow Church DLR station on the Docklands Light Railway.
