Stratford High Street DLR station is a Docklands Light Railway station in the Stratford neighbourhood of the London Borough of Newham, in east London, England. It is located on the Stratford International extension of the Docklands Light Railway,〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Docklands Light Railway - Stratford International Extension )〕 which opened on 31 August 2011. The site was the location of an earlier railway station from 1847 to 1957, known initially as Stratford Bridge and later as Stratford Market. ==History== The first station on the site was opened as ''Stratford Bridge'' on 14 June 1847 on the Eastern Counties and Thames Junction Railway〔 between Stratford and Canning Town stations. By the 1860s the railways in East Anglia were in financial trouble, and most were leased to the ECR; they wished to amalgamate formally, but could not obtain government agreement for this until 1862, when the Great Eastern Railway was formed by amalgamation. Thus Stratford Bridge became a GER station in 1862. The station served a local fruit and vegetable market and was renamed ''Stratford Market'' on 1 November 1880.〔 The station was resited in 1892 when the line was widened.〔 On the westbound platform there was a tower that contained steps that allowed direct access ver the goods lines to the adjacent Great Eastern Railway's printing works which opened in 1893. This building is still extant today (2015). Following the 1923 grouping the station was operated by the London & North Eastern Railway. The second station was itself renamed twice: to ''Stratford Market (West Ham)'' in 1898, resuming the name ''Stratford Market'' in 1923.〔 Following nationaliation of the railways in 1948 the station was part of British Railways Eastern Region. The East Coast floods of 31 January 1953 saw tracks in the station flooded. The station closed on 6 May 1957〔 due to lack of traffic and the proximity of the larger Stratford station, which was also served by other lines. The line through the station site to North Woolwich closed in 2006 for works to start on conversion to DLR operation. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Stratford High Street DLR station」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
