Abbey Road (DLR)
Abbey Road is a Docklands Light Railway (DLR) station in the London Borough of Newham . It is in the Travelcard tariff zone 3, on Abbey Road in the West Ham district . It is named after the former Cistercian Abbey of Stratford Langthorne Abbey .
Immediately to the west of the station is the Stratford Market Depot , one of the two workshops on the Jubilee Line . Trains on this London Underground line pass Abbey Road on a parallel double-lane route, but do not stop here due to the lack of additional platforms.
The station opened on August 31, 2011, along with the branch line between Stratford International and Canning Town . In 1846, the Eastern Counties and Thames Junction Railway opened between Stratford and Canning Town stations ; there was never a train station on Abbey Road until it was temporarily closed in 1973. The North London Line , which ran on this four-lane section from 1979 to 2006 , also ran through without stopping.
Soon after opening, the station made international headlines. It attracts a large number of tourists who are wrong to believe that the famous Abbey Road Studios , where the Beatles recorded the album of the same name, Abbey Road , are nearby . The street of the same name with the famous pedestrian crossing is more than 15 kilometers away at the St. John's Wood underground station .
