further tells us:
"Crossharbour is a DLR station west
of Cubitt Town on the Isle of Dogs in east London. It is between Mudchute and
South Quay stations and is in Travelcard Zone 2.
The Docklands Light Railway station
opened as "Crossharbour" on 31 August 1987, and was renamed in 1994 to
"Crossharbour and London Arena". Now that the neighbouring London Arena has been
demolished the original name has been reinstated.
There is a reversing siding between
the two running tracks just to the south of the station, and some trains (mainly
from Stratford DLR station) used to terminate here as Lewisham DLR station was
unable to handle too many trains. Nowadays however, it is rare to see trains
terminate at Crossharbour, as many trains from Stratford now terminate at Canary
Wharf.
The St John's Estate is social
housing estate adjacent to the DLR station."
