New facility at Custom House
A new entrance at Custom House DLR station opened this week which will improve access to the nearby ExCeL London.
Built as part of the Crossrail project, it is directly opposite the site of the former North London line station and will provide a vital interchange between the DLR and Elizabeth line services, which will serve the station from December 2018.
Improvements to the station include a new footbridge, a 24-hour public route from Custom House to ExCeL London and the Royal Docks,and the interchange with the Elizabeth line.
Crossrail Chief Executive Andrew Wolstenholme said: 'This is an early example of the Crossrail project delivering real benefits to passengers ahead of the opening of the Elizabeth line that will transform travel in and around the Capital.'
Large sections of the station were built off site at Crossrail contractor Laing O'Rourke's factory near Sheffield and then transported to east London where it was then assembled.
This helped to minimise disruption to rail services and local residents.
