Former Rail Network

Some mention should be made of the rail network serving the docks with which Silvertown Station was at one time linked (there are files at The National Archives) - will look up details later. Jackiespeel (talk) 11:00, 13 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

The Disused Stations website gives some information here [1] and here [2]. Jackiespeel (talk) 21:46, 13 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Usage of the Station

"After London City Airport opened nearby there was an attempt to offer the station for connection to the airport, the station being renamed Silvertown and London City Airport on 4 October 1987,[3] but the walk through adjacent side streets, and the relatively infrequent service, which was peripheral rather than into central London, led to little usage of the airport interchange."

I do not think this is true. For quite a long time it was advertised on the tube and London Connections maps as the station for LCA. I used it my self when living in Leyton several times.
