Crossrail Select Commitee
The Crossrail project, to construct a new underground railway line through central London, will have one of its new stations at Liverpool Street. Tim convinced local property developers and then the City of London Corporation and finally the House of Commons Select Committee that the initial proposed CLRL bolt-on scheme at Liverpool Street was not an appropriate solution for the local access to Crossrail. The Liverpool Street area will now benefit from a dedicated ticket hall in front of the old Broad Street station which was completely demolished in 1986 and replaced by the Broadgate office and shopping complex.
A new ticket hall serving the Crossrail station will be built within the old Underground ticket hall with its entrance at 100 Liverpool Street, the old entrance to the Underground that served Broad Street, with the platforms themselves under the Broadgate complex.
