History

The first railway through the site of the station was the Bow–Poplar branch of the North London Railway (NLR), built in 1851 and opened on 1 January 1852.^[7] The line was opened initially for freight only.^[8] Poplar (East India Road) station was first served 1 August 1866. The line to Poplar was closed to passengers on 15 May 1944, during the Second World War.^[8] The line continued to be used for declining freight traffic until 5 October 1981 and the track lifted by 13 May 1985.^[8]

Serco announced that from 24 August 2009, the frequency on the Stratford to Lewisham branch would be reduced at peak times to one train every seven minutes, from the current five-minute frequency. This was to accommodate a flyover that increased frequencies by 30 seconds on the Bank to Lewisham line.^[9][10]
