Plans for Beam Park railway station in East London cancelled

Plans for a new railway station in East London next to a future housing development have been dealt a blow after the station was apparently cancelled.
The site, Beam Park is the former Ford manufacturing plant in Dagenham, now owned by the GLA, and in 2019 received consents for a 3,000 home development by L&Q and Countryside, with around half classed as “affordable”. As part of the agreement, anew railway station was to be built next to the site on the existing C2C railway line,
