North Woolwich railway station is the eastern terminus of the North London Line. It is in Travelcard Zone 3.
It opened on 14 June 1847 as the southern terminus of the Eastern Counties and Thames Junction Railway from Stratford. The original station buildings and one of the two platforms are occupied by the North Woolwich Old Station Museum.
Adjacent to the station is Woolwich foot tunnel across the River Thames, and the northern terminal of the Woolwich Free Ferry.
The station will close in on 10 December 2006[1] to allow the section of the North London Line between Stratford and Canning Town to be converted to become part of the Docklands Light Railway (DLR). The line between Canning Town and North Woolwich will close completely; however, the new extension of the DLR from Canning Town to King George V (which opened in December 2005) follows a similar route and will provide a suitable replacement service. King George V is close to North Woolwich.
According to the lastest issue of Modern Railways, when the NLL is closed later this year a steam service may take over part of the line.
