Canada Water station is a London Underground and London Overground station in Rotherhithe, in south London, England. It takes its name from Canada Water, a lake which was created from a former dock in the London Docklands. The station is located on the Jubilee line between and stations and on the London Overground between and stations, and provides an interchange point between the two lines. It is in Travelcard Zone 2. London Overground services commenced on the East London Line on 27 April 2010, as the replacement extension of the historic tube line. ==History== Canada Water was originally intended to be a stop on the aborted Fleet Line Extension to Thamesmead. The extension was never built, but Canada Water became the only projected Fleet Line Extension station to be realised on the Jubilee Line Extension.〔Kenneth Powell. ''The Jubilee Line Extension: A Celebration'', p. 84. Laurence King, 2000. ISBN 1-85669-184-5〕 The station is a wholly new building on a derelict site formerly occupied by Albion Dock, part of the old Surrey Commercial Docks.〔 The station was one of the first designed for the Jubilee Line Extension. The contract for the station's construction was initially awarded to Wimpey in 1993 for the sum of £21.3 million and was later taken over by Tarmac (now Carillion).〔Bob Mitchell. ''Jubilee Line Extension: From Concept to Completion'', pp. 169-172. Thomas Telford, 2003〕 Construction began in 1995. It proved extremely challenging, requiring the excavation (by cut-and-cover) of a void long, wide and deep. The building of the East London Line station required a separate slot at right angles, long, deep and tapering in width, incorporating a Victorian railway tunnel. Construction was complicated by the high water table on the site, which is located on the Thames flood plain; extensive deep-well dewatering was required to lower the water table before the enclosure to the excavations could be built. A total of 120,000 m³ (4,237,760 ft³) of spoil had to be excavated. An additional complication was the location of the excavation site, near the foundations of two existing 22-storey tower blocks and the northern end of the former Canada Dock, now the ornamental lake Canada Water. The section of East London line running through the station was completely reconstructed, with the 19th-century brick railway tunnel being dismantled and the track relaid over a new structure bridging the Jubilee line tracks below. As the East London line had to be closed for this work, London Underground took the opportunity to carry out other remedial works such as repairs to the Thames Tunnel, a short distance to the north.〔David Bennett, Dennis Gilbert, Roland Paoletti. ''Architecture of the Jubilee Line Extension'', p. 64-71. Thomas Telford, 2004. ISBN 0-7277-3088-6〕 It was opened on 19 August 1999, served initially by East London line trains. The Jubilee line passenger service from the station began on 17 September 1999.〔Horne, M: ''The Jubilee Line'', page 80. Capital Transport Publishing, 2000.〕 In 2012, it was used as a filming location for part of the pilot episode of the BBC/Cinemax British-American spy drama, ''Hunted'' (TV series). Canada Water was the first station to receive external sponsorship; Nestle sponsored the station on the day of the 2015 London Marathon, and roundels in the station were edited to advertise Nestle's Buxton Water. The one-day sponsorship was part of a plan to increase Transport for London's non-fare revenue, costing Nestle £110,000.〔http://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/home-news/canada-water-underground-to-be-renamed-buxton-water-for-london-marathon-day-10199174.html〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Canada Water station」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
