Canary Wharf DLR station is a Docklands Light Railway (DLR) station in Canary Wharf, east London, England. Built into the base of One Canada Square, between two parts of a shopping centre,〔(Canary Wharf - Transport for London ) ''TfL official site'' Retrieved 3 September 2007〕 it serves the Canary Wharf office complex. The station itself has six platforms serving three rail tracks and is sheltered by a distinctive elliptical glass roof. The station is located on the DLR between Heron Quays station and West India Quay station, in Travelcard Zone 2, which are in fact the three closest railway stations on the same line in the world. The station is shown on the Tube map as being within walking distance of Canary Wharf tube station;〔(Tube map ) ''TfL official site'' Retrieved 3 September 2007〕 however, Heron Quays DLR station is indicated as closer by around 50 metres. ==History==
Canary Wharf station had been part of the original DLR plans, but when the system opened in August 1987 the station was not ready.〔(DLR history timeline ) ''TfL official site'' Retrieved 3 September 2007〕 It was originally planned that the station would be similar to the original station at Heron Quays, with two small platforms either side of the tracks. It soon became apparent that the Canary Wharf development would produce demand well above the capacity of a simple station. On 17 July 1987 (over a month before the DLR opened to the public) a contract was awarded to GEC-Mowlem Railway Group to rebuild the station into the considerably more elaborate and spacious design that exists today. It was opened in November 1991.〔
