Custom House for ExCeL DLR station reopened in London

Tuesday, January 9, 2018

The Custom House for ExCeL DLR station has reopened on Monday 8 January 2018, having been closed since 3 February 2017 for fundamental work to modernize and expand the station.

ExCeL DLR station links directly to the west entrance of ExCeL, was closed to make easy an easier interchange with the Elizabeth line at Custom House.

This renovation helps in further improvement of journey times in advance of the Elizabeth line opening in December 2018.

These railway improvements will help to reduce overcrowding at the busiest times, especially in the wee hours particularly once Elizabeth line services arrive at the station and new developments in and around the Royal Docks have been built. The upgrade will also shorten walking routes between DLR platforms and the surrounding area.

The construction of the Elizabeth line has entered its final stages and will open to the from December. ExCeL will have its own onsite Elizabeth line station at Custom House, making it easier, faster and more convenient to get to events at the venue.

The Excel London will provide an ‘Events Super Highway’ linking the world’s busiest airport at Heathrow Airport to ExCeL London in 43-minutes.

In between, both the national and international visitors will be able to entrée the very best of what London has to offer, with access to more hotels, Michelin starred restaurants and world-renowned theatre and shopping, all within record time.
