Limehouse
station is a busy interchange between DLR and c2c services. Many people change
from c2c trains to DLR during the morning peak as part of a journey to the
Canary Wharf area. Previously passengers had to walk down stairs to street
level and then back up stairs to access the DLR. The new footbridge linking the two platforms
makes the interchange at Limehouse easier for thousands of passengers.
The new
footbridge linking the two platforms makes the interchange at Limehouse easier
for thousands of passengers.
It includes:
- A full-length canopy
- Lighting and CCTV coverage linked to the DLR control centre
- Ticket barriers for access to the c2c platform
- Oyster card validators for use when entering the DLR platform
- A step free route to the westbound c2c platform from street level
via a lift.
The
footbridge is open during busiest times, closed after 21.00hrs on weekdays,
after 17.00hrs on Saturday and all day on Sunday.

Transport’s Access for All Small Schemes programme.
