history
The station opened in 1854 on the original route of the London, Tilbury and Southend Railway .
On February 20, 2010, the station became the terminus of the first leg of East London Transit , a network of express bus routes in east London to connect London Underground and National Rail stations. The line ETL 1 from Illford ends in Dagenham Dock and also goes to Barking station.
future
The partly fallow industrial area around the station is to be converted into residential and office complexes as part of the London Riverside project . The previously low number of users is also expected to increase. A branch line of the Docklands Light Railway is also planned from Gallions Reach along the Thames to the terminus at Dagenham Dock. An extension of the London Overground of the Gospel Oak – Barking route to Dagenham Dock or even Rainham is planned as an option. These trains would then run as far as Clapham Junction .
