South Quay (ZSQ)

Information
Type:	Transport for London (Docklands Light Railway)
Station code:	ZSQ
Opened:	1987

South Quay is a DLR station in Canary Wharf and one of the original stations built in phase 1 of construction. The station opened in 1987 and is situated between Heron Quays and Crossharbour.

Because of sharp curves at either end of the station expansion to allow for 3-car trains meant the station had to be moved. The new (and current) station is 125m to the East of the original and opened in 2009.

The original station was damaged in the 1996 IRA Docklands bombing, the truck bomb being just 70m when it detonated causing devastation to the Canary Wharf area. The station was only closed for a few weeks however. A plaque commemorating the victims of the terrorist attack is now at the station.
