Docklands Light Railway : Stations : Canning Town

Line	Location	Opening date	number of platforms
Beckton	part of Jubilee Line station	28th March 1994	2 +2 Jubilee Line, +2 National Rail. Island platform

Canning Town is part of a transport interchange. The station itself is of an unusual design, with the DLR platforms above the Jubilee Line platforms forming a 'double-deck' structure. There are also two disused platforms on the former North London Line, currently being converted in to platforms for the DLR extension to Stratford International, and a bus station from which runs a shuttle to London City Airport.

The station is alongside Bow Creek (the River Lea).

Overall view of Canning Town station from the adjacent bus station. The 'double-deck' layout of the station is clear here—the DLR platforms are stacked above the London Underground Jubilee Line platforms, while on the left are the National Rail (North London Line) platforms. Access is via subway, which connects the DLR/Undergound platforms to the National Rail platforms and the bus station
