Moorgate station

Moorgate Underground station has connections with the Metropolitan, Circle, Hammersmith & City and Northern Line as well as National Rail. This station is located in zone 1 on the Tube Map. For the Northern Line this station is deep level but for the sub-surface lines there are two facing platforms at 'cut and cover' level. In addition there are two bay platforms for trains that are terminating here and two disused platforms where Thameslink services use to stop here.

The station opened in 1865 and was opened by the Metropolitan Railway due to their extension of the original route between Paddington and Farringdon.

This station was the site for the Moorgate crash in 1975 when a terminating train hit the barriers beyond the platform end, killing 46 people and leaving 74 injured. 

If you are able to go to the old Thameslink platforms, normally they will be locked, why not have a look at the lovely old posters behind the stop lights. 

On the southbound Northern Line platform the next train indicator is mistimed.

The Crossrail plans show that Liverpool Street's western ticket hall will be located just east of Moorgate station. A new interchange will be built here linking Moorgate to the Central Line at Liverpool Street.
