=== Rail ===
Dalston is on the [[London Overground]] network, served by three stations:
*'''[[Dalston Kingsland railway station|Dalston Kingsland]]''' – for London Overground services between [[Stratford station|Stratford]] and [[Richmond station (London)|Richmond]] or [[Clapham Junction railway station|Clapham Junction]]. This provides Dalston with a direct rail link to [[Hackney Central railway station|Hackney Central]], [[Highbury & Islington station|Highbury & Islington]], [[Camden Road railway station|Camden Road]], [[Willesden Junction station|Willesden Junction]] and destinations in [[North London line|West London]].<ref name=":0">{{Cite web|url=http://content.tfl.gov.uk/london-rail-and-tube-services-map.pdf|title=London's Rail & Tube services|website=[[Transport for London]]|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190511111245/http://content.tfl.gov.uk/london-rail-and-tube-services-map.pdf|archive-date=11 May 2019}}</ref>
* '''[[Dalston Junction railway station|Dalston Junction]]''' – for London Overground services between Highbury & Islington and either [[West Croydon station|West Croydon]], [[Crystal Palace railway station|Crystal Palace]], [[New Cross railway station|New Cross]] or Clapham Junction. This gives the area a direct rail connection to [[Shoreditch High Street railway station|Shoreditch]], [[Whitechapel station|Whitechapel]], [[Canada Water station|Canada Water]] and destinations in [[East London line|South London]].<ref name=":0" />
* '''[[Haggerston railway station|Haggerston]]''' – partly in the district, served by London Overground trains between Highbury & Islington and West Croydon, Crystal Palace, New Cross or Clapham Junction.<ref name=":0" />

All stations are in [[London fare zone 2]], and [[Oyster card|Oyster Cards]] are valid for travel from Dalston to other destinations in London. Dalston Junction is the busiest station of the three, with 5.677 million passenger entries and exits at the station in 2017–2018.<ref name=":0" /><ref>{{Cite web|url=https://orr.gov.uk/statistics/published-stats/station-usage-estimates|title=Estimates of station usage|website=[[Office of Rail and Road]]|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190507164919/https://orr.gov.uk/statistics/published-stats/station-usage-estimates|archive-date=7 May 2019}}</ref>

There is no direct rail link to [[Central London]], and Dalston is not on the [[London Underground]] network. Direct connections to [[London fare zone 1|London's Zone 1]] can be found at Hackney Central and Highbury & Islington stations. A [[Dalston (Crossrail 2) railway station|new station in Dalston]] has been proposed as part of the [[Crossrail 2]] development.<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://crossrail2.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2017/11/2015-consultation-route-map.pdf|title=Crossrail 2 route (autumn 2015)|website=[[Crossrail 2]]/[[Mayor of London]]/[[Network Rail]]|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190515123115/http://crossrail2.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2017/11/2015-consultation-route-map.pdf|archive-date=15 May 2019}}</ref>

The [[London Borough of Hackney]] measures roadside [[Air pollution|air quality]] in Dalston, in particular the concentration of [[Nitrogen dioxide|Nitrogen Dioxide]] (NO<sub>2</sub>) in the district. [[Diffusion tube]]s which measure the concentration of NO<sub>2</sub> in roadside air show that across Dalston, the local roadside air quality failed to meet the [[Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs|UK National Objective]] of 40μg/m<sup>3</sup> (micrograms per cubic metre) in 2017.<ref name=":1">{{Cite web|url=https://www.hackney.gov.uk/media/12320/Air-quality-annual-status-report-2017/pdf/Air-quality-annual-status-report-2017|title=London Borough of Hackney Air Quality – Annual Status Report for 2017|date=31 May 2018|website=[[London Borough of Hackney]]|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190515123955/https://www.hackney.gov.uk/media/12320/Air-quality-annual-status-report-2017/pdf/Air-quality-annual-status-report-2017|archive-date=15 May 2019}}</ref>
