History
A station was first opened on the site on 9 November 1850 by the
Present day
Dalston Junction reopened on 27 April 2010 on the London Overground
As part of TfL's Overground improvement programme, plans have been approved to redevelop the station.[6][7] Aside from increasing the number of entry and exit gates, the changes are largely cosmetic and do not make any provision for step-free access.
Plans have been approved to redevelop the "Peacocks" building immediately adjacent to the station into a 15-storey tower block.[8]
Services
As part of the programme to introduce four-car trains on the London Overground network, the North London Line between Gospel Oak and Stratford closed in February 2010, reopening on 1 June 2010. The closure was to enable the installation of a new signalling system and the extension of 30 platforms. Engineering work continued until May 2011, during which reduced services operated and Sunday services were suspended.[9]
Typical off-peak frequency at the station is four trains per hour westbound to Richmond via Highbury & Islington, Camden Road and Willesden Junction; two trains per hour westbound to Clapham Junction; and six trains per hour eastbound to Stratford. However, service intervals vary from about seven minutes during peak times to 30 minutes on Sundays.[10]

In August 2002 a potentially serious railway accident was avoided near Dalston Kingsland when a passenger train was inadvertently diverted on to the goods line during emergency signalling. When the passenger train was reversing to its correct path a following goods train almost ran into it.[11]
