Info
South Quay is a Docklands Light Railway (DLR) station in Millwall and Cubitt Town on the Isle of Dogs, London, England. The station is between Crossharbour and Heron Quays stations and is in Travelcard Zone 2. South Quay station is located on the southern shore of the South Dock of the West India Docks; the current station platforms sit astride the channel connecting Millwall Dock to the West India Docks.
The original South Quay station opened in 1987 in Millwall, and was a standard DLR phase 1 elevated station, subsequently extended to permit the use of 2 car trains. The station was constrained by sharp curves at both ends and could not therefore be further extended on its former site. The DLR's planned to operate 3 car trains on this line therefore included the relocation of this station to a new site over Millwall Dock some distance to the east, resulting the relocated station partly being in Cubitt Town.
In 1996, near the station, the Docklands bombing killed 2 people and injured over 30.
