2 unusual facts about East Cross Route


North London Railway

The Docklands Light Railway follows the path of the long-disused North London Railway from Bow Church to Poplar, and the northern section of the East Cross Route (A12) built in the late 1960s used the route between Old Ford and Victoria Park stations, demolished for the road's construction.

Old Ford railway station

The station buildings were demolished when the East Cross Route (formerly A102(M) but now A12) was built alongside the railway alignment in the late 1960s as part of the aborted London Motorway Box scheme.
