1852 - King’s Cross opened as the London terminus for the Great Northern Railway
2006 - Planning consent secured for redevelopment of King’s Cross station
2012 - Western Concourse completed and opened to public
2012-13 - The 1973 concourse will be removed, exposing the station’s Victorian facade and creating a major new public space for London
King’s Cross: a great Victorian station revitalised for the 21st century
More space – concourse area tripled in size to reduce congestion More light – new steel, glass and aluminium roof creates light airy atmosphere Better connections – rapid access to Tube and bus services with increased step-free access
One of our biggest challenges is to deliver a 21st century railway service based on a 19th century network. King’s Cross Station was built over 160 years ago, but today it’s serving the travelling public even better than ever. Our expert team modernised the entire passenger experience whilst protecting and restoring the station’s unique historic fabric. We increased the number and quality of train services, smartened up the passenger facilities within the station and created efficient connections to other transport modes. King’s Cross is not a one-off. In the past ten years, we have been enhancing all aspects of Britain’s aging rail network, increasing capacity, punctuality, safety and passenger facilities.
