Custom House sign

I visited Custom House station in early 2007, shortly after its National Rail platforms on the North London Line had closed, along with the rest of the line to Woolwich North. The signs for the line's last operators, Silverlink, are all still in place. The entrance to the station from the north:

The entrance is onto the disused eastbound North London Line platform, which is fenced off. Looking westwards here:

Notices inform passengers of the closure of the line, and of how to get to the DLR platforms:

Access to the DLR platforms, on the left of this picture, is via a footbridge from the national rail platforms:
