Description
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Liverpool_Street_station
"Liverpool Street station, also known as London Liverpool Street,[6][7] is a major central London railway terminus and connected London Underground station in the north-eastern corner of the City of London, in the ward of Bishopsgate Without. It is the terminus of the West Anglia Main Line to Cambridge and Ely; the Great Eastern Main Line to Norwich; commuter trains serving east London and destinations in the East of England, including the Weaver line of the London Overground; and the Stansted Express service to Stansted Airport.
The station opened in 1874, as a replacement for Bishopsgate station as the Great Eastern Railway's main London terminus. By 1895, it had the most platforms of any London terminal station. During the First World War, an air raid on the station killed 16 on site, and 146 others in nearby areas. In the build-up to the Second World War, the station served as the entry point for thousands of child refugees arriving in London as part of the Kindertransport rescue mission. The station was damaged by the 1993 Bishopsgate bombing and, during the 7 July 2005 bombing, seven passengers were killed when a bomb exploded aboard an Underground train, just after it had departed from Liverpool Street. New platforms for the Elizabeth line opened in 2022 as part of the Crossrail project.[8]
Liverpool Street was built as a dual-level station, with provision for the London Underground. A tube station opened in 1875 for the Metropolitan Railway; the tube station is now served by the Central, Circle, Hammersmith & City and Metropolitan lines. It is in fare zone 1 and is managed directly by Network Rail.[9] With 94.5 million passengers between April 2023 and March 2024, it was the busiest station in the United Kingdom, according to the Office of Rail and Road.
On the London Underground, Liverpool Street is on the Central, Circle, Hammersmith & City and Metropolitan lines, and is the sixth-busiest station on the network.[116] On the Central line, the station is between Bank and Bethnal Green stations. On the Circle and Metropolitan lines, it is between Moorgate and Aldgate stations. On the Hammersmith & City line, it is between Moorgate and Aldgate East stations. In common with other tube stations serving Central London termini, this station is in fare zone 1. There is no wheelchair access to the tube lines,[117] except from the eastbound Circle, Hammersmith & City and Metropolitan lines, which have a ramp leading to the platform.[118]"
