The north dock of the West India Docks adjacent to the district has been partially drained as part of the construction of
Crossrail and new station is being built at the dock (linking to the
West India Quay DLR station). The
SS Robin and the '
Steam Tug Portwey''''' have been moved away from the dock as a result of the works. On 22 April 1991, two
Docklands Light Railway trains collided at a junction on the West India Quay bridge during morning
rush hour, requiring a shutdown of the entire system and evacuation of the involved passengers by ladder. One of the two trains was travelling automatically, operating without a driver, while the other was under manual control. ==Notes==
