Docklands Light Railway : Stations : Pontoon Dock

Line	Location	Opening date	number of platforms
London City Airport	elevated	2nd December 2005	2

Pontoon Dock is on the London City Airport route. The station is close to the Thames Barrier Park. The area to the north of the station is to be redeveloped.

Because of the height of the station, and the un-redeveloped nature of the surrounding area, there are some very impressive views from the platforms, across the Royal Docks, towards the City and Canary Wharf, and of the Millenium Dome and the Thames Barrier.
