Greenwich Station reconstruction

Changes to facilitate DLR extension
Background

Docklands Light Railway (DLR) is being extended to Lewisham via Greenwich in time for the Millennium celebrations.

New stations are being built at Greenwich and Cutty Sark. The Greenwich Station will be adjacent to the existing railway station. In order to build this new station a new temporary footbridge has been constructed. The London bound platform was demolished to enable tunnelling to take place. This means that both tracks were using a single track and only the Dartford bound platform is used for both directions during the summer. There are some service alterations and delays may occur.

The London bound platform was reinstated in September 1997 - full details of timetable below.

Timetable - 1997

Start	Finish	Details
31 May	1 June	Installation of new temporary signalling - service unaffected
14 June	16 June	Temporary track alterations - service unaffected
19 July	20 July	New temporary track brought into use
21 July	12 Sept	All trains use Dartford bound platform over single line. Minor service adjustments.
13 Sept	15 Sept	London bound platform reinstated
25 Oct	27 Oct	Reinstatement of normal track layout - service unaffected

Beware: Preparations for the millennium can cause delays/cancellations/diversions to trains at weekends because of engineering work - always check with the operator before travelling
