Star Lane is a Docklands Light Railway (DLR) station in Canning Town, east London. Located on the Stratford International extension of the Docklands Light Railway between Stratford and Canning Town,[6] it opened on 31 August 2011.

History

The station is on the original route of the Eastern Counties and Thames Junction Railway, which opened between Stratford and Canning Town in 1846. The line became part of, what is now known as, the North London line in 1979. The Eastern Counties and Thames Junction Railway had four tracks over this section of route. The western pair were redeveloped as part of an extension to the London Underground's Jubilee line in 1999 and the eastern pair, which carried the North London Line, were cut back at Stratford in 2006. The tracks were converted for use as part of the Docklands Light Railway and the station was constructed with two platforms.

The station was originally to be called Cody Road station, and was shown on some maps as such prior to opening.

Design

Western entrance

The station is an island platform under a footbridge. Some junction changes around Manor Road and Star Lane have been implemented with a small amount of land taken on the corner of Star Primary School. A new pedestrian crossing on Star Lane has been installed. The footbridge, known locally as "the peggy leggy steps",[7][8] has been replaced.

Along with Stratford High Street, Stratford and Abbey Road, the station features the artwork Places of Exchange by Scottish artist Toby Paterson[9] - tessellated patterns inspired by the local area, etched into the glass panels of the station.[10]
