Beckton DLR station is the eastern terminus of the Beckton branch of the
Docklands Light Railway (DLR) in the Docklands area of east London.
It is located in Travelcard Zone 3.
The DLR branch from Poplar was opened on 28 March 1994. The next station
is Gallions Reach.
Trains from Beckton depart for Tower Gateway usually, although there are
occasional departures to Bank.
Like all open-air DLR stations, Beckton is unmanned and tickets are bought
at the ticket machines. New machines were installed in January 2009 that
now allow Oyster card users to top-up their pre-pay balance and see their journey history.
During 2007-2008, a new bus station was constructed directly opposite the DLR station.
This opened in the first week of November 2008
