Network Rail Property has announced it is to bring forward new plans to redevelop Britain’s busiest station, London Liverpool Street, to transform the customer experience.
It’s time the station becomes a destination in its own right, to handle the demands of the future.
London Liverpool Street station is a major transport hub connecting well over 100 million people a year within London and the southeast, with passengers forecast to grow to over 140 million a year by 2050.
This is a transport-led scheme promoted by Network Rail Property focussed on providing big improvements to the everyday experience for passengers, including:
• Increasing the size of the concourse to ease congestion
• Step-free access across the station and London Underground
• Delivering 7 new lifts to make Network Rail platforms and the London Underground more accessible.
• Increasing the number of escalators from 4 to 8 to enable easier access to the trains
• More ticket barriers to reduce queuing
• New toilets, including family facilities on all levels of the station.
• New landmark entrances on Liverpool Street, Bishopsgate and Exchange Square.
• Additional waiting lounges
• Better signage throughout, making the busses easier to find.
• More cycle storage with direct access to platforms
• More space for passengers inside the station
• A greater variety of cafes, restaurants and shops
