The extension was opened in stages. The first stage was the section from Stratford to [[North Greenwich Station|North Greenwich]] in East London. This opened to serve the [[Millennium Dome]]. The second stage from there to [[Waterloo Station|Waterloo]] opened on Fri 17 Sep 1999, with trains reversing at [[Bermondsey Station|Bermondsey]] until the platforms at Waterloo were ready for passengers. Trains operated the whole section from Sat 20 Nov ([http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk/529006.stm see BBC news]) with [[Southwark Station|Southwark]] opening on that day and [[Charing Cross Station|Charing Cross]] closed.

The architecture of the new stations has been critically acclaimed with several designed by Sir Norman Foster. The station at Canary Wharf in particular is massive by Underground scales; a section of one of the docks at Canary Wharf was filled in for the "station box", with a new park landscaped above two attractive semi-domed entrances. |
