Track Layout
The track around North Greenwich was designed to facilitate an extension of the line from this station. An extension probably towards Thamesmead was proposed; however this has not been developed beyond the initial proposal, and is not currently planned.
The track layout allows trains from Stanmore and Stratford to terminate at North Greenwich. A number of trains from Stanmore terminate here during peak and off peak times, and enter platform 2 instead of the usual platform 3. Trains head back towards Central London from platform 2.
During times of disruption and engineering work, trains from and back to Stratford can be routed into and out of platform 2.

Famous quotes containing the word track:
“Away went the messenger’s bicycle,
His serpent’s track went up the hill forever.
And all the time she stood there hot as fever
And cold as any icicle.”
—John Crowe Ransom (1888–1974)
