Line	Location	Opening date	number of platforms
Stratford	part of National Rail station	31^st August 1987	1

Stratford station is a major transport interchange. Main line trains from London Liverpool Street to Essex stop here, as do London Underground Central Line trains. The North London Line between Richmond and North Woolwich runs through two low-level platforms, and in 1999 these were joined by three Jubilee Line platforms. There is also a new bus station adjacent. The DLR makes use of a former bay platform at one end of the station.

As part of the Jubilee Line extension works, a new entrance and concourse was constructed next to the low-level platforms. Stratford is set to increase in importance with the opening of Stratford International station on the Channel Tunnel Rail Link, to the north. A DLR extension will serve this new station, with trains running from there along what is currently the North London Line via Stratford (Low Level) to Canning Town.

The DLR occupies a very small corner of the huge station at Stratford—this is the single terminal platform, formerly a mainline bay platform

Structures on the main station's platforms date from the 1940's, when the station was rebuilt in conjunction with the extension of the London Underground Central Line. This structure now serves as a DLR equipment room, and there is a ticket machine built into one side. The platform is off-camera to the right
