Beckton Riverside DLR station is a proposed station on the Docklands Light Railway near Barking, East London. The exact construction and opening dates of the station are not yet clear.[1]
If opened it will be a part of the new Dagenham Dock extension which will see the line extended from near its existing terminus at Beckton DLR station along a newly constructed line to terminate at the National Rail stop at Dagenham Dock station. It is planned to help serve new residential developments in the area tied in with the wider Thames Gateway project.
The Mayor of London had been keen to open the new route in time for the 2012 Olympic Games, but owing to the numerous other transport infrastructure upgrades this does not appear particularly practicable and the more realistic timescale of a 2016 opening looks likely.
