''It's near to the Norton Healthcare HQ and the nearest station to the Royal Docks campus of Newham Community College. I think there are further developments planned around here but for now it's a bit lost!'' --[[Dave Arquati|Dave]] * [http://www.dlrdaisy.co.uk/daisy/gar/gar13pid.htm Real time train information] for Gallions Reach * [http://www.tfl.gov.uk/dlr/pdf/timetables/tt_gallions.pdf Timetable] (PDF) for Gallions Reach * [http://www.tfl.gov.uk/dlr/pdf/maps/map_gallions.pdf Local Area Map] * Gallions Reach has: ** Bike racks ** Coke machine ** CCTV ** Ticket machines ** Old platform payphone (coins only) ** Lifts between platforms and ground level ==== Bus services ==== Four day buses and one night bus serve Gallions Reach, but the stops are actually located on [[Woolwich Manor Way]], which means you need to cross the busy [[Royal Docks Road]] to get to them. * If you are heading to the [[Beckton Triangle Retail Park]] or the Showcase Cinema then this you get a higher frequency of bus from here than from either [[Beckton Station]] or [[Cyprus Station]]. (Routes [[Bus Route 262|262]] & [[Bus Route 366|366]]) ** However, for [[Locale Barking|Barking]], [[Locale Ilford|Ilford]] and [[Locale Redbridge|Redbridge]] ([[Bus Route 366|366]]) change at [[Cyprus Station|Cyprus]] instead (Bus Stop K). * [[Bus Route 101|101]] & [[Bus Route 474|474]] run to [[North Woolwich Station]], and the 101 runs to [[City Airport|London City Airport]]. However, you get the same frequency and routes from [[Cyprus Station|Cyprus]] Stop K. * In the other direction, the [[Bus Route 262|262]] runs through [[Locale Beckton|Beckton]] to [[Plaistow Station|Plaistow]] and [[Stratford Station]]. However, you can catch it from [[Beckton Station]] at Stop C which is just across the (much less busy) road from the station, and therefore an easier change. * Night bus [[Bus Route N101|N101]] runs between [[Trafalgar Square]] and [[Locale Wanstead|Wanstead]] via the Royal Docks. However it runs to both Beckton and Cyprus stations, and at Beckton you can also use the [[Bus Route N50|N50]]. * <b>In summary</b> this is only a good interchange to get to the [[Beckton Retail Park]] - for all other destinations use [[Cyprus Station|Cyprus]] or [[Beckton Station|Beckton]]. |

A station on the Docklands Light Railway.
Gallions Reach 
A very strange place. Once you emerge from the station, you find yourself in... nowhere. There are some largish roads that pass nearby, but that's about it. Maybe they will build something, some day.
