Impressive work on Farringdon station upgrade

Caroline Pidgeon AM joined Baroness Sarah Ludford, London’s Lib Dem MEP, and local Councillor George Allan for a tour around Farringdon Station. The Station is being rebuilt by the end of 2011 as part of the Thameslink programme, but also preparing for Crossrail.

When both of these transport programmes are complete by 2018, this will be one of the busiest stations in London and a very important interchange for people wanting to travel to all London airports and St Pancras International Station.

“It was impressive to see the works that are being carried out whilst the station is fully operational. The restoration work to the historic station building is also impressive and shows how far our rail industry has come compared to the 1980s where much of our heritage was lost when any modernisation was carried out”, commented Caroline.
