Star Lane (DLR)
Star Lane is a Docklands Light Railway (DLR) station in the London Borough of Newham . It is in the Travelcard tariff zone 3, at the intersection of Star Lane and Manor Road in the Canning Town district .
A second double-lane Jubilee Line runs parallel to the west of the DLR route . Trains on this London Underground line do not stop at Star Lane due to the lack of additional platforms. The station is intended to promote the development and new use of the once largely fallow industrial areas in the area.
The station opened on August 31, 2011, along with the branch line between Stratford International and Canning Town stations . The railway history goes back more than a century and a half: in 1846 the Eastern Counties and Thames Junction Railway opened between the stations of Stratford and Canning Town ; until it was temporarily closed in 1973, there was never a train station on Star Lane. The North London Line , which ran on this four-lane section from 1979 to 2006 , also ran through without stopping.
In the summer of 2012, during the Olympic Games and the Paralympics , the station recorded an above-average number of passengers. The Uniform Distribution and Accreditation Center , the central accreditation and uniform handover point for the more than 70,000 volunteers, was located in a warehouse of a former glass factory in the immediate vicinity .
