Transport for LondonDocklands Light Railway - Limehouse Station Improvements
Skip to navigationImproving access at Limehouse station – link bridge now open
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.
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, and closed after 21.00hrs on weekdays and after 17.00hrs on Saturday and all day on Sunday.
This project was funded by Transport for London and the Department for Transport’s Access for All Small Schemes programme.
Three-carriage upgrade works for Limehouse DLR station
The station is also being upgraded to allow three-carriage trains to operate. The DLR platforms have been lengthened towards the eastern end of the station and additional staircases and lifts will provide access to the eastern side of Branch Road. The new entrances will open in December 2009.
