Southbound platform at All Saints station, Docklands Light Railway, on 6th April 2013. This station opened with the first stage of the DLR in 1987 and is on the site of the ex-NLR Poplar station, opened in 1866 and which was almost completely pulverised by enemy bombing in WWII and closed with the line to Dalston Junction in May 1944. In those days, this was the terminus for trains from Broad Street; today's DLR trains continue south with the present Poplar station more or less on the site of the ex-London & Blackwall Railway's Millwall Junction station that had closed in 1926. The only surviving remnant of the old Poplar station is a retaining wall that can be seen in the background.
