The new Pudding Mill Station is being built just about alongside and in full view of the old one. Publicity on the network proudly boasts it as being the largest of all the DLR stations – and it is going to be.
Built inside a large box structure, it’s expected to be a station that people will use to come to the new Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park a lot, which opens this weekend.
All the tracks are in place, except for where they join the existing line, and that’s what the 10 day closure is all about – putting those tracks in place and getting all the computer signalling working. It’s going to be an impressive station once done, and the last new TfL owned station that’s going to be opened for a while.
