Dalston Kingsland is a station on theMildmay line of theLondon Overground, located on the western side ofKingsland High Street in theDalston area of theLondon Borough of Hackney. Situated inLondon fare zone 2, the station straddles the boundary with theLondon Borough of Islington, with part of the platforms falling within Islington. The station is located oppositeRidley Road Market.Ticket barriers are in operation.

Kingsland railway station was opened on the site in 1850. It was closed and replaced byDalston Junction station, approximately 250 metres (820 ft) walk away, in 1865. The current station was opened byBritish Rail in 1983. There is now an officialout-of-station interchange with Dalston Junction, which is served by theWindrush line of the London Overground.

A station was first opened on the site on 9 November 1850 by theNorth London Railway. It closed on 1 November 1865 when an extension was built toBroad Street in theCity of London and a triangular junction was installed which joined the existing tracks to the east and west of the station. A newDalston Junction station was opened at the southern tip of the junction and it replaced Kingsland station. The station was rebuilt and reopened on 16 May 1983 as part of theCrosstown Linkline service. The station replaced Dalston Junction when it closed in 1986, along with the rest of the line to Broad Street.^[3][4]

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.^[5]

Dalston Junction reopened on 27 April 2010 on the London OvergroundEast London line extension, with interchange permitted between it and Dalston Kingsland.^[6] The western curve of the junction was relaid for theEast London line going toHighbury & Islington station; the site of the eastern curve is covered by the Dalston Eastern Curve Garden and the car park of Kingsland shopping centre.

As part of TfL's Overground improvement programme, plans have been approved to redevelop the station.^[7][8] 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.^[9]

As part of the programme to introduce four-car trains on the London Overground network, theNorth London line betweenGospel Oak andStratford 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.^[10]

Typical off-peak frequency at the station is four trains per hour westbound toRichmond viaHighbury & Islington,Camden Road andWillesden Junction; four trains per hour westbound toClapham Junction; and eight trains per hour eastbound toStratford. However, service intervals vary from about seven minutes during peak times to 30 minutes on Sundays^[11]

At Dalston Kingsland station the North London line (NLL) was powered by both25 kV overhead AC and 750 Vthird-railDC systems and was the change-over point between current collection by pantographs and by shoes for passenger trains that are dual-systemClass 378 electric multiple units (EMUs). For reliability, time-saving, and as part of the NLL upgrade, the third rail has now been removed and overhead cables power the North London line between Stratford and Acton Central.
