Design
Limehouse station is elevated on a pair of diverging viaducts, each carrying a pair of platforms – one pair for c2c and one pair for the Docklands Light Railway. The c2c platforms have one entrance accessed via a stairwell at the western end, while the DLR platforms have entrances at both the western and eastern ends, each equipped with stairwells and lifts. The eastbound c2c platform is connected to the westbound DLR platform by a walkway bridge.
The station holds Secure Stations Scheme accreditation and bicycle racks are provided underneath the DLR platforms by the western entrance. The ticket office is located within the station building under the c2c platforms, and is managed by c2c; tickets can be retailed for National Rail services, the DLR and on Oyster card. Additional automatic ticket machines for DLR and Oyster card are located under the DLR platforms at the foot of the stairways. There are ticket barriers to the national rail platforms, but not the DLR platforms. This means the bridge between the national rail and DLR platforms has a set of barriers as well are the main ticket hall entrance.
