All Saints is a Docklands Light Railway (DLR) station in Poplar in East London. The station is named after nearby All Saints, a Church of England parish church dating from 1821 to 1823. The station entrance is on the East India Dock Road, the high street of Poplar and is opposite Chrisp Street Market while adjacent to the Poplar Baths, it also has two rail sidings directly west of the station forming part of Poplar DLR depot.
On-train announcements for trains approaching the station describe it as "All Saints for Chrisp Street Market".
History
There was a previous station on the same site, called Poplar station, which was served by the North London Railway. The location of this station can be seen in the bottom-right hand corner of the [http://www.londonancestor.com/maps/bc-poplar-n.htm Map of Poplar, 1885].
Serco announced that from 24 August 2009, the frequency on the Stratford to Lewisham branch would be reduced at peak times to one train every seven minutes, from the current five-minute frequency. This was to accommodate a flyover that increased frequencies by 30 seconds on the Bank to Lewisham line.{{cite web |url=http://developments.dlr.co.uk/pdf/enhancements/phase2/delta.pdf |title=Docklands Light Railway (DLR) Delta Junction Grade Separation |publisher=Transport for London |access-date=12 August 2020 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20071003191051/http://developments.dlr.co.uk/pdf/enhancements/phase2/delta.pdf |archive-date=3 October 2007 }}{{cite web |url=https://www.flickr.com/photos/wirewiping/3964738921 |title=DLR West India Flyunder |last=Walker |first=Julian |website=Flickr |access-date=12 August 2020 |date=28 September 2009 |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200812094625/https://www.flickr.com/photos/wirewiping/3964738921 |archive-date=12 August 2020}}
