PLANNING APPROVAL FOR THE TRANSFORMATION OF BRITAIN'S BUSIEST STATION
Today, the City of London Planning Committee granted permission for an operationally led, transformational scheme for Liverpool Street Station. This planning permission marks a major step forward in future-proofing Britain's busiest station and one of the UK’s most important transport hubs. Liverpool Street station serves 118 million passengers each year, and with demand forecast to reach 158 million by 2041, the approved plans will make sure the station is ready to welcome more than 200 million passengers in the years ahead.
The ACME-designed proposals will improve the everyday experience for passengers, delivering step-free access from street level to all platforms, smoother passenger flows, and a fully connected, accessible transport hub that works better for everyone. It will be a bigger, more inclusive station for passengers today, tomorrow, and in the decades ahead!
