Transport for London has launched a consultation into a proposed extension of the Docklands Light Railway from Gallions Reach to a new station at Beckton Riverside and then under the river to Thamesmead. If it went ahead, it would echo plans to connect Thamesmead to a rail network which go back to the 1970s, when the second phase of the Fleet Line, which became the Jubilee Line, was intended to reach the riverside development. The latest proposal is connected with the building of up to 30,000 new homes along the proposed route. TfL said alternative forms of transport, such as buses, would not provide enough capacity.
