Information About

City Thameslink Station




City Thameslink is an underground National Rail station in the City Of London , at the point where Fleet Street becomes Ludgate Hill . The station is in Zone 1 , between Blackfriars Station and Farringdon Station on the First Capital Connect service.

The station opened in 1988 as St Paul's Thameslink. The name later changed, apparently to avoid confusion with St Paul's London Underground station, which is several hundred yards away on the other side of St Paul's Cathedral .

City Thameslink station replaced Holborn Viaduct Station , which was a terminus located close to Holborn Viaduct itself and which was closed on 26 January 1990 . The station is situated where ''Snow Hill/Holborn Viaduct - Low Level'' station used to be.

The station is underground and accessed via Lift and Escalator from Ludgate Hill (south end) and Holborn Viaduct (north end).
