The station is on the [[Isle of Dogs]]. It is in [[Travelcard Zone 2]]. ==History== The original Mudchute DLR station was on the route of the old [[Millwall Extension Railway]]. This was a Victorian railway line that had not been used for many years. The original elevated station opened on 31 August 1987. It was the last station before the terminus at [[Island Gardens DLR station|Island Gardens]]. When the line was extended under the [[River Thames]] to a new terminus at [[Lewisham station|Lewisham]], Mudchute station was rebuilt in a shallow cutting close to the tunnel entrance. The rebuilt station opened on 20 November 1999. In April 2008 work started on replacing the siding formed by the old route into a third platform for reversing trains and adding a canopy over the station.<ref>{{cite web|url = http://194.201.98.213/WAM/findCaseFile.do?appNumber=PA/07/00072&action4=Search|archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20110704024813/http://194.201.98.213/WAM/findCaseFile.do?appNumber=PA%2F07%2F00072&action4=Search|url-status = dead|archive-date = 2011-07-04|title = Planning Application|access-date = 2020-09-16}}</ref> By October 2009 these works were complete. ==References== {{reflist}} {{transport-stub}} [[Category:Docklands Light Railway stations]] [[Category:Railway stations in the London Borough of Tower Hamlets]]
