The original Dalston Junction was opened by the North London Railway in 1865 and was along the line from the now closed London terminus Broad Street [1]. Dalston Junction was closed in 1986 along with Broad Street.
The coming of the London Overground network and the new East London Line saw a completely new Dalston Junction station which opened in 2010. The station was built along with a new housing development and included a bus station to make it a major transport interchange [2].
At first Dalston Junction was a terminus for the East London Line for services from Canonbury but after a few months through services as far as Clapham Junction were initiated, however some services continue to terminate at the station. Dalston Junction is about 200m from Dalston Kingsland though there are no direct services between the stations.
