As you may be aware, work is underway at Farringdon Station as part of Network Rail’s £5.5 billion Thameslink Programme and in the next few weeks significant work will begin for the new Thameslink and Crossrail Integrated Ticket Hall.

The Thameslink Programme, once completed, will significantly improve the railway and a number of stations between Bedford, Central London and Brighton and is part of Network Rail’s national programme to improve and maintain the rail network.

Crossrail is the major new railway connecting the City, Canary Wharf, the West End and Heathrow Airport to commuter areas east and west of London. The new Crossrail station at Farringdon will link directly to new stations at Paddington, Bond Street, Tottenham Court Road, Liverpool Street, Whitechapel and Canary Wharf.

In order to keep you informed of our activities we are providing you with this summary of the programme for the next two months. We will provide an update of this information to you every month, which will include any changes made to the programme.

In particular the weekend of the 25th to the 27th September 2009 will see various works taking place within Turnmill Street, Cowcross Street, Charterhouse Street and Farringdon Road as well as within the station itself. In order to carry out this work we will take possession of Farringdon station from 11pm on Friday 25th September until 5am on Monday 28th September 2009 throughout which the station will be closed to the general public.
