However, despite the station reopening, TfL said work will continue to complete the station's full facilities, including a mezzanine deck above the DLR platforms, new station canopies and two additional staircases. Works are scheduled to finish by spring 2018.

Mark Davis, Interim General Manager of the DLR, said: "Once fully complete, this important work will have increased capacity at the station by 50 per cent - making journeys better for customers and ensuring the station is fit for the arrival of Elizabeth line services from late 2018."
