Skip to navigationTransport, Environment & Regeneration
The area between Canning Town and Stratford has been identified for major regeneration and new development. The Stratford Rail Lands to the north of the current station will be transformed in the ‘Stratford City Development’ into a major shopping and business location. The development will bring 5,000 homes and 30,000 jobs to Stratford.
The benefits of the DLR Stratford International extension will include:
- Supporting the regeneration of the Lower Lea Valley, bringing forward new jobs, homes, shops and other leisure facilities to the area
- Providing improved public transport reliability, accessibility and frequency on the corridor between Stratford and Canning Town. New stations will be created on the line to serve existing and future communities
- The new Stratford International station will provide a direct interchange between DLR and the Channel Tunnel Rail Link as well as with a bus station and taxi rank
The 2012 Games
The new route will form a crucial travel link during the 2012 Olympic and Paralympic Games as DLR Stratford International station will serve the heart of the Olympic Park. Trains will run between Stratford International and Stratford stations with capacity for approximately 13,500 passengers per hour in each direction. The extension will provide a key link between the Olympic Park and other Olympic venues such as the ExCeL Exhibition Centre and Woolwich Arsenal.
