This was the end of passenger services to the eastern platforms although goods traffic continued to use them until closure of the Broad Street and Shoreditch goods depots. After nationalisation on 1 January 1948 Dalston Junction was a British Railways London Midland Region railway station. In 1956 some of the mechanical semaphore signals were replaced by colour light signals. This included some signals that were over 86 feet high. Some scenes from

120-498: A major transport hub, often multimodal (bus and rail), may be referred to as a transport centre or, in American English , as a transit center . Sections of city streets that are devoted to functioning as transit hubs are referred to as transit malls . In cities with a central station , that station often also functions as a transport hub in addition to being a railway station. Journey planning involving transport hubs

160-542: A period after closure. Later in 2010 a small community garden known as Dalston Eastern Curve Garden was established. Rebuilding the station for the London Overground network began with site clearance in early 2005. The station was opened by the Mayor of London , Boris Johnson , on 27 April 2010. A limited weekday "preview" service started that day with the first train leaving Dalston Junction at 12.05. The service

The South London line was open to the public on 9 December 2012 and officially launched the next day by the Mayor, with the station now serving as the northern terminus to New Cross and West Croydon trains. Clapham Junction (via Surrey Quays ) and Crystal Palace trains now start from Highbury & Islington . In

280-483: Is more complicated than direct trips, as journeys will typically require a transfer at the hub. Modern electronic journey planners for public transport have a digital representation of both the stops and transport hubs in a network, to allow them to calculate journeys that include transfers at hubs. Airports have a twofold hub function. First, they concentrate passenger traffic into one place for onward transportation. This makes it important for airports to be connected to

320-493: The British Rail Class 501 which had been introduced in 1957 taking over from older LNWR Oerlikon EMU and worked through to 1985. The other services were diesel worked either by DMUs or diesel locomotives such as Class 31s and suburban compartment stock carriages. Rail services are provided by London Overground .

FedEx adopted the hub and spoke model for overnight package delivery during the 1970s. When the United States airline industry was deregulated in 1978, Delta's hub and spoke paradigm was adopted by several airlines. Many airlines around the world operate hub-and-spoke systems facilitating passenger connections between their respective flights. Intermodal passenger transport hubs in public transport include bus stations, railway stations and metro stations , while

A scrapyard occupied the site of eastern platforms for

The table below is a summary of the services from Bradshaw's July 1922 service guide which called at Dalston Junction. The working week at this time included Saturday mornings so there was a Saturday lunch time peak service. After the Saturday lunch time peak

560-524: The Great Eastern Railway station at Blackwall. On 27 October 1899 Louise Massett murdered her baby son in the station lavatories and became the first person executed in the UK in the 20th century.

640-571: The NLL was powered by both 25 kV overhead AC and 750 V third-rail DC systems and was the change-over point between current collection by pantographs and by shoes for passenger trains that are dual-system Class 378 electric multiple units (EMUs). For reliability, time-saving, and as part of the NLL upgrade, the third rail has now been removed and overhead cables power the North London Line between Stratford and Acton Central. In August 2002

720-521: The Watford service terminated at Willesden new station (now known as Willesden Low-Level) and it did not run on Sundays. The Richmond service ran a 20-minute frequency on Saturday and 30 minutes on Sunday. There were a number of weekday only morning and evening peak services running to the suburban lines out of Kings Cross which were routed via Canonbury and Finsbury Park and destinations included: At this time Richmond electric services were worked by

760-411: The airline does not fly directly between. Airlines have extended the hub-and-spoke model in various ways. One method is to create additional hubs on a regional basis, and to create major routes between the hubs. This reduces the need to travel long distances between nodes that are close together. Another method is to use focus cities to implement point-to-point service for high traffic routes, bypassing

800-529: The closure of the signal box on 25 February 1979. Dalston Kingsland railway station reopened on 15 May 1983 on the Crosstown Linkline service between North Woolwich and Camden Road.

920-484: The first phase of the extension of the East London Line, Dalston Junction was the temporary northern terminus for all trains. From 28 February 2011 to 9 December 2012, trains from West Croydon and Crystal Palace continued beyond Dalston Junction, taking the relaid west curve north of the station to Highbury & Islington . As stated above, Dalston Junction still remains a terminal for New Cross trains, using

960-446: The hub entirely. There are usually three kinds of freight hubs: sea-road, sea-rail, and road-rail, though they can also be sea-road-rail. With the growth of containerization , intermodal freight transport has become more efficient, often making multiple legs cheaper than through services—increasing the use of hubs. Dalston Kingsland railway station The new London Overground line names and colours were introduced across

1000-510: The off peak service would operate. Generally, but not always, Poplar and GN services called at Shoreditch and Haggerston. There was a basic 20 minute repeating services calling all stations between Broad Street and Richmond.

As part of TfL's Overground improvement programme, plans have been approved to redevelop

1080-869: The scheduled passenger air transport industry involved a "through plane" flight operated by two or more airlines where a single aircraft was used with the individual airlines operating it with their own flight crews on their respective portions of a direct, no-change-of-plane multi-stop flight. In the U.S., a number of air carriers including Alaska Airlines , American Airlines , Braniff International Airways , Continental Airlines , Delta Air Lines , Eastern Airlines , Frontier Airlines (1950-1986) , Hughes Airwest , National Airlines (1934-1980) , Pan Am , Trans World Airlines ( TWA ), United Airlines and Western Airlines previously operated such cooperative "through plane" interchange flights on both domestic and/or international services with these schedules appearing in their respective system timetables. Delta Air Lines pioneered

1120-624: The station. Aside from increasing the number of entry and exit gates, the changes are largely cosmetic and do not make any provision for step-free access. Plans have been approved to redevelop the "Peacocks" building immediately adjacent to the station into a 15-storey tower block. As part of the programme to introduce four-car trains on the London Overground network, the North London Line between Gospel Oak and Stratford closed in February 2010, reopening on 1 June 2010.

Secondly some airports function as intra-modular hubs for the airlines, or airline hubs . This is a common strategy among network airlines who fly only from limited number of airports and usually will make their customers change planes at one of their hubs if they want to get between two cities

1200-424: The two bay platforms in the middle of the station. Transport for London and Hackney London Borough Council are currently developing the extensive station site with a bus interchange and high-rise towers above the new station.

The original Dalston Western Junction box (opening date uncertain) which was known as Western Junction was replaced in 1891 by a North London Railway design signal box. This lasted until 2011 when it was closed and control passed to Upminster signalling centre. The western of

1400-501: Was first opened on the site in 1850, but was replaced by Dalston Junction in 1865. The current station was opened by British Rail in 1983. Ticket barriers are in operation.

All the platforms had awnings and structures such as waiting rooms and offices but there

1600-611: Was to enable the installation of a new signalling system and the extension of 30 platforms.
