Network Rail Submits Revised £1bn Plan for Liverpool Street Station Overhaul

The updated proposal aims to modernize the historic station, expand capacity, and improve accessibility while addressing heritage concerns.

The redevelopment plan targets overcrowding and aims to increase passenger capacity from 90 million to over 200 million annually.
Key upgrades include a larger concourse, step-free access with eight new lifts, ten escalators, and expanded retail and dining options.
Commercial elements feature a seven-story office tower and a five-star Hyatt hotel, with designs adjusted to better complement the Grade II-listed Andaz Hotel.
Extensive public consultation shaped the revisions, with 75% of nearly 2,000 responses supporting the updated plans.
Construction is expected to begin in 2025, with phased completion by 2026 for station upgrades and 2030 for commercial developments, keeping the station operational throughout.
