Blackfriars Underground station reopened this morning to accommodate a 60% increase in footfall.
The station has been completely rebuilt over the last three years.
New lifts and escalators make the station easier to access and a curved glass façade floods the spacious new entrance hall with natural light.
The upgrade is the latest in a series of improvements being delivered by Network Rail that are tripling the number of trains that run through Blackfriars, and central London, on the Thameslink route each hour.
The Mayor of London, Boris Johnson, said:
“With its magnificent ticket hall, brand new lifts and escalators, and more than double the previous capacity, the rebirth of this central London station will improve the journeys of thousands of passengers every single day.”
