Contractor Amey picked for up to £42 million of early work extending the Docklands Light Railway to Thamesmead
The Docklands Light Railway (DLR) has chosen Amey Rail through Transport for London's Infrastructure Improvement Framework for up to £42 million of early work on the planned 3km extension from Gallions Reach to Thamesmead, Construction Enquirer reported on 29 October 2026. The contract is due to run to October 2028 and could be extended to October 2030. The new line includes a 1.5km twin-bore tunnel under the Thames and new stations at Beckton Riverside and Thamesmead town centre.
Our readBringing Amey in early means it will carry out surveys and preparatory work before the main build, and later stages still depend on affordability, approvals and contract conditions.
