The London Underground entrance to Farringdon station has reopened after an eight week closure to ‘restore and expand’ the station.
As part of the Thameslink Programme, Network Rail and London Underground have installed new ticket gates, machines and ticket offices along with new staircases.
Network Rail’s project director for Farringdon, Richard Walker, said:
“From 2018 the revamped north – south Thameslink route will meet the new east – west Crossrail service, linking with existing Tube connections.
“With up to 24 trains an hour running in each direction on Thameslink and Crossrail, plus the Tube, Farringdon will be served by over 140 trains an hour.”
Farringdon will provide links to three of London’s major airports, Heathrow, Gatwick, and Luton, plus St Pancras International for Eurostar services.
