In order to finding the right public transport solution to serve Thamesmead and Beckton Riverside, Transport for London has considered several options. The main factors in selection of these options were reviewing and comparin them based on cost, how quickly they could be delivered, their impact on the existing transport network and communities, and whether they met the wider objectives of supporting the maximum opportunity for new homes, jobs, as well as connections to retail and leisure activities.
Also Transport for London is eager to see people feedback on its preferred option of a cross-river extension of the Docklands Light Railway (DLR) from Gallions Reach. This would include a new station at Beckton Riverside, a tunnel under the River Thames, and a new station in Thamesmead.
