The buildings on the former North London Line platforms were built in the early 1980s, when provision for passengers was very much meaner than it is now. These will all be swept away and replaced by much better facilities for the arrival of Crossrail services in 2018. The new station will comprise an island platform with two faces, capable of taking ten-car trains, and a light and spacious overline station building.
**********************************************************************
The Stratford to North Woolwich line was first opened in 1847 by the Eastern Counties Railway, at a time when the Silvertown area was undeveloped; the original route ran to the south of what is now Victoria Dock.
When Victoria Dock was constructed in the 1850s, a swingbridge was built to allow trains to cross the opening which allowed ships to enter the Dock from the Thames. However this would delay trains, so a new line was built to the north of the dock, with a station at Custom House. The original route was handed over to the Dock company, to be worked effectively as a private internal railway; although in the event of the new route being blocked the Eastern Counties Railway were permitted to use the old route free of charge.
When the adjacent Albert Dock was built in 1880 it incorporated a short-cut into Victoria Dock. Again a swingbridge was put in, but the Dock Company also put in a new tunnel, the Connaught Tunnel, to by-pass any delays. Once again the railway had the right to use the old route free of charge if the tunnel was blocked for any reason. During the 1880s short branch lines were added from Custom House to Gallions and Beckton; these little-known lines were used almost exclusively by freight, and by workers at the Docks and Beckton Gas Works. Little trace of these lines remains today.
With little other public transport in the Silvertown area, the railway did good business. However the first nail in the coffin was the construction of Silvertown Way in the 1930s; this was funded as a scheme to alleviate unemployment, and would eliminate level crossing delays for traffic heading to Victoria Dock. Trams had only ventured as far as Canning Town, but London Transport decided its trolleybuses would extend to Silvertown and North Woolwich via the new road. The heavy bombing of the Docks during the Second World War, and radical changes to the nature of trade thereafter, further contributed to the decline of the line. By the 1970s the service consisted of a half-hourly shuttle between Stratford and North Woolwich, and it looked set for closure.
However in 1979 the Greater London Council aimed to revive the line, and extended the service to Camden Road. New stations were constructed, and the existing stations were rebuilt, albeit in a very basic style with minimal facilities. In 1985 the line was electrified and incorporated into the North London Line, with trains running through from North Woolwich to Richmond.
It was the development of other railways in the area which finally killed off the North Woolwich Line. The Beckton line of the Docklands Light Railway opened in March 1994, but it was the coming of the line to King George V in December 2005 (since extended to Woolwich Arsenal) that rendered the old line redundant; services between Stratford and North Woolwich were withdrawn after 9th December the following year. Since then the route between Stratford and Canning Town has been reused by the Stratford International branch of the DLR (opened August 2011), whilst the section between Custom House and North Woolwich is being prepared for its new role as part of Crossrail's Abbey Wood line, due to open in 2018.
This is a custom model, it has the body of the Aurora Monsters Of The Movies Creature and the head and arms from the Marx plastic Creature.
This little 47cm custom F550s kicks ass. Finished in a rainbow sparkle black paint job with deep silver decals, it's complete with our lattice chainring, 650c wheels and a lugged fork. You can catch it cruising around the streets of LA!
