PROPOSALS to extend London’s Docklands Light Railway from Gallions Reach to Thamesmead via Beckton Riverside are the subject of an online public consultation exercise.
The extension, designed to support regeneration and the building of new homes in the area, would include new stations at Beckton Riverside and Thamesmead, connected via anew tunnel under the River Thames.
No funding has yet been secured, but the consultation, which will continue until March 18, is expected to influence the development of the plans which will be turned into an outline business case. Information can be found at: tfl.gov.uk/dlr-extension
