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
