<br/>This must be one of the very few, if not the only one, stations which can be accessed by D.L.R., B.R., and the Underground. Here are a D.L.R. train and an Underground unit, together.

<br/>A Cravens DMU departs under the wires from Stratford station past the signal box. These units usually provided services to Gospel Oak and North Woolwich. They were generally uncomfortable for passengers and, as evidenced by this example, could produce a lot of pollution!

Dist:0.1km north<br/>The short-lived through service from Stratford to Watford Junction, due to end on 15 November 2008, was necessitated by engineering work on the Hampstead Junction line. Here, unit 313121 loads at Stratford, giving its passengers chance to pass through the long-disused station at Primrose Hill on its journey.

Dist:0.1km north<br/>When the Docklands Light Railway opened in 1987, the arrangements at Stratford were never satisfactory. Docklands trains used Platform 4, which was very narrow and could have been dangerous, as if a passenger had fallen in front of a train, nothing could have been done to save him/her, as the trains are driverless, controlled by computer. To remedy this situation, two new platforms, numbered 4a and 4b, have been provided to the south of the original one. One of these platforms is shown in use here, with car No 80 appoaching.

Dist:0.1km north<br/>When the Jubilee Line extension was built in the late 1990s, it was constructed to a high specification, one example of this being the spacious platforms at the eastern terminus of Stratford.

Dist:0.1km north<br/>The morning Stratford Freightliner to Felixstowe comes off Chanalsea curve and heads down the Eastern main line passing Stratford Station. This area has changed beyond all recognition with the development for the Channalrail link and the redevelopment for the Olympics.The former freightliner terminal where this train started its journey has been bulldozed along with Stratford diesel depot and works where this locomotive was based at the time.
