Dist:0.1km<br/>Montesquieu Terrace, looking as though it is going to be pulled down soon. Something went badly wrong, considering it couldn't have been built more than 50 years ago.

Dist:0.1km<br/>Constructional works in progress for yet another Docklands line. This time, it is a line from Royal Victoria to Stratford International, via Stratford. It is being built on the trackbed that was, until a few years ago, occupied by the North London line service between Richmond, Stratford and North Woolwich. The latter was cut back to Stratford and given new platforms, with its old platforms now to be given to the line under construction here. From Stratford, this line will extend over new right-of-way to Stratford International.

Dist:0.1km<br/>Canning Town Station nearly did not feature on the Docklands Light Railway network but is becoming and increasingly important hub, particularly with the impending Olympics. This train to Beckton was in fact operating as a shuttle service between Canning Town and Beckton due to rebuilding works at Tower Gateway station in the City. Below can be seen the extensive bus station built at the same time. The canopy at the right hand of the picture shelters what was the platform on the railway to North Woolwich, now superseded by the DLR branch to Woolwich. This platform is being rebuilt to take the new DLR line to Stratford International.

Dist:0.1km<br/>This is taken from the Jubilee Line platforms. Originally these were used by the Docklands Light Railway Beckton line, but when the Jubilee Line came, the DLR was removed to a higher level, above its previous tracks, which were transferred to the Jubilee Line. At this time, tracks on the right were used by North London Line trains on their way to North Woolwich, but this route has ben closed and the trackbed is being used for a new Docklands line, which will extend to Stratford International and should be open later this year.
