Dist:0.3km<br/>Through services to Beckton start from Tower Gateway, and if you have never made this journey, I can recommend it for the excellent views commanded from the train.

Dist:0.4km<br/>Car No 87, of class B92, is seen at the Beckton terminus

Dist:0.4km<br/>View eastward, towards former buffer-stops. Had been terminus of branch from Custom House (on Stratford - North Woolwich line). Station badly damaged in the great Blitz of 7/9/40 and branch closed for passengers 29/12/40, but the line continued to serve the vast Beckton Gas Works until they were finally run down in February 1971.

Dist:0.4km<br/>Despite what the diagrammatic tube map shows, when the train arrives at the end of the line it is facing west.

Dist:0.4km<br/>This is the end of the line. We are looking across Woolwich Manor Way.

Dist:0.4km<br/>This is the Beckton terminus of the DLR with Unit No. 27 about to depart with a westbound train to the City, (except that it heads eastwards to start off with - you know what I mean).

Dist:0.4km<br/>The DLR train here is heading north towards the terminus at Beckton. The track to the right leads to the depot. Viewed from the sliproad of the A1020.

Dist:0.4km<br/>This picture was taken from Armada Way, Beckton. I don't know what the pipes are for -- the fencing round the complex has National Grid signs on it.

Dist:0.4km<br/>This hotel is so new that it does not appear on the current OS 1:25,000 scale maps. Beckton may seem like an odd location for a building like this, but the hotel is next to the Beckton terminus of the DLR, and can be found on Woolwich Manor Way.

Dist:0.4km<br/>At present this bridge only carries traffic in one direction (westwards) from the slip road off the south bound A1020. But it was clearly designed for significant volumes of two-way traffic. Behind the photographer it becomes a dead-end stub of viaduct.

Dist:0.4km<br/>This is a response to Danny Robinson's view of the entrance to the Gallions Reach Shopping Park, viewed from the A1020 Royal Docks Road. View looking east towards the River Thames, which flows behind the shopping centre at the top of Armada Way (the road leading off into the distance).
