Isle of Dogs railway station
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Isle of Dogs station will be a railway station on the Isle of Dogs in east London, proposed to be built as part of the Crossrail project.
A new station will be constructed beneath and within the West India North Dock. The station will extend from east of the Docklands Light Railway bridge to the east end of the dock. The station will be constructed within a 475 m long concrete box with a 245 m long island platform. This will be fitted out to 210 m with the potential for extension should the need to operate longer trains arise. A 165 m long scissor crossover at the western end of the box will enable trains to terminate at the station and return either to central London or to Abbey Wood.
Access to and from the station will be via a re-built Great Wharf bridge. A bank of escalators will be provided from the bridge down to a landing at the same level as the dockside where a further bank will connect with the ticket hall located within the station box beneath the water level. Further escalators will be provided to platform level.
