The Farringdon station project will see the successful contractor construct two platform tunnels, each 245m long, between new ticket halls to the east and west.

At the western end, the ticket hall is combined with a proposed ticket hall for the Thameslink project, which is currently being remodelled by Costain in joint venture with Laing O’Rourke under a £173m contract.

Farringdon will be the only station from which passengers will be able to access Crossrail, Thameslink and London Underground trains.

This makes it a key hub station for Gatwick, Luton, Heathrow and London City airports in addition to St Pancras international rail station.
