The station is located on the DLR's Beckton branch, between Beckton Park and Gallions Reach stations. It is in Travelcard Zone 3. It is served by DLR services from Tower Gateway to Beckton.
Layout
editAlong with Beckton Park, Cyprus station is of an unusual design. Between the two stations, the DLR runs in the central reservation of a major road built at the same time as the railway. The stations are located at highway intersections which take the form of roundabouts. On the approach to the roundabout, the road rises slightly whilst the railway dips slightly; the station is therefore situated in a cutting, under the centre of the elevated roundabout, with pedestrian access at surface level under the elevated roadways and arched over the railway.

Services
editThe typical off-peak service in trains per hour from Cyprus is:[8]
- 12 tph to Canning Town of which 6 continue to Tower Gateway
- 12 tph to Beckton
Additional services call at the station during the peak hours, increasing the service to up to 16 tph in each direction.
