The front of Farringdon Station has been covered in scaffolding for what seems like forever, so it was a surprise when I passed the other day to be able to see not only the front of the old station but also the street in front of it.
Opposite is the shiny new entrance leading to the train platforms (as opposed to the underground). It is all part of the new cross rail that is being built. Development will continue until 2018.

Nice to see the outside of the building preserved.
Its looking good. At the moment I'm really enjoying Michael Portillo's series, so much that I bought Bradshaws. He's much nicer doing railway things than when he was a politician.
Used to live near here and remember Farringdon Station fondly. Good to know it's doing well. Thanks.
Much cleaner than when I worked near there!
