Liverpool Street station

Liverpool street station is located in zone 1 on the Tube Map and has connections with the Central, Circle, Hammersmith & City and Matropolitan Lines. Liverpool Street Underground station opened in 1875 as "Bishopsgate". This station is at a 'cut and cover' level with two facing platforms for the sub-surface lines.


Then in 1912 the Central Line platforms opened as the eastern terminus for the Central London Railway. For the Central Line there are two separate deep level platforms. 


This station also has connections with National Rail.

This is the fifth busiest station on the London Underground Network. Platforms 1 and 2 are the sub-surface platforms and platforms 4 and 5 are for the deep level Central Line.

In the future, 2018, this station will also have connections with Crossrail. Crossrail will be able to take you to Paddington, Heathrow and Maienhead via the City and the West End. A new ticket hall will be built. Six train per hour will run a stopping service between Liverpool Street and Shenfield. The amount of trains per hour will double and diverted into the Crossrail tunnel between Liverpool Street and Stratford via Whitechapel.
