Woolwich Arsenal DLR

Woolwich Arsenal DLR - artist's impression We are building an extension of the Docklands Light Railway to Woolwich town centre. This will continue the route of the London City Airport extension under the River Thames, and create a new DLR station at Woolwich Arsenal.

Initially trains will depart from Woolwich Arsenal DLR station to Bank and Canning Town and ultimately direct to Stratford in time for 2012.

The extension is due to open in February 2009. For more information see our development project updates.
