Awesome photos of Stratford Regional Station.
 
And the new bridge leading to Stratford City:

The CGI image shows how it will look. The current entrance to
Stratford Station will be much larger and to the right will be steps
leading to the bridge over the overland and Central Line tracks to
Stratford City. The DLY extension runs above.

Amazing photos.

Interesting collection of photos - but note that the DLR extension
emphatically does not run above anything, it runs beneath it!
Specifically the DLR extension from Canning Town to Stratford Int'l
uses the old North London Line alignment up to and then through
Stratford Regional station - it'll be where the low-level NLL
platforms used to be (i.e. cutting through the main concourse), though
I understand the DLR will actually have platforms a teeny-weeny bit to
the south of the NLL platforms for some reason.

The wide new pedestrian bridge that leads into the Westfield Stratford
City development (and on into the Olympic Park) is now two-thirds in
place - the most recent third was put in place during the three day
railway possession over the May day bank holiday, and the last bit
will be go in during a railway possession in July I think.

Sorry, what's the line running above the entrance to Stratford
Regional in the CGI photo?

It confused me, a whole area of London is being opened up, and it was
a complete toilet before- breakers' yards and fridge mountains.

The structure of the pedestrian bridge, I thknk. It appears to have a
continuation as a bridge over the main road, which may be confusing
you.

This is the somewhat fuzzy CGI image* in question:

I agree with Mr Thant - it appears to just be a continuation of the
pedestrian bridge, though I'm not really up on what the plans for this
bridge link actually are. One can however say for absolutely certain
that it's not a railway line of any sort! By the by, if you go to
Stratford station you'll be able to see work progressing on converting
the old NLL alignment for DLR operation from the overbridge within the
big 'hall' (that contains the concourse).
