Wapping tube station Totally Explained

Everything about Wapping Tube Station totally explained

Wapping was a London Underground station near Wapping in east London, England. It was in zone 2, and on the East London Line between Shadwell and Rotherhithe.
Opened in 1869, the station occupies the north end of the former Thames foot tunnel built by Marc Isambard Brunel between 1825-1843, and subsequently adapted for railway traffic. Access to the station is by lift or a flight of stairs.
The station was extensively remodeled between 1995 and 1998, when the entire East London Line - including Wapping station - was closed due to repair work on the East London Line's Thames Tunnel.

London Overground

The East London Line closed on 22 December 2007, and won't reopen until June 2010 when it'll become part of the new London Overground system.
While the station is closed rail replacement route ELW runs to Whitechapel via Shadwell. Buses can't cross the river because of loading gauge constraints in the Rotherhithe Tunnel.
The quickest way to travel to Rotherhithe is by road. Passengers must either take London Buses route 100 to Elephant & Castle, and then take London Buses route C10, but Transport for London's Journey Planner estimates this journey to take 64 minutes (External Link

) The proposed extension of the East London Line raised concerns that the station would have to be closed due to its platforms being too short to accommodate the new, longer, trains planned for the line. However, on 16 August 2004 the Mayor of London Ken Livingston announced that the station would remain open.
