When the Elizabeth line Farringdon station opens in 2018 it will be one of the busiest in the UK, connecting with Thameslink and the London Underground to provide links with outer London, the home counties, the City, Canary Wharf and three of London’s five airports.
The goldsmiths, watchmakers, ironmongers and blacksmiths of Farringdon, Clerkenwell and Smithfields and the Brutalist architecture of the nearby Barbican Centre provide the context for the design of the new Farringdon station.
Two new ticket halls are connected by underground mined platforms. The western end located on the corner of Farringdon Road and Cowcross Street will provide access to and from the Thameslink ticket hall.
Farringdon station will open in December 2018 when a train every two and a half minutes at peak time will run in each direction terminating at Paddington in the west and Abbey Wood in the east.
When the route fully opens in December 2019, passengers will be able to catch Elizabeth line services from Farringdon to Heathrow and Reading in the west and Abbey Wood and Shenfield in the east.
