City Thameslink Railway Station

City Thameslink is a central London railway station with entrances on Ludgate Hill and Holborn Viaduct, within the City of London. Its platforms are underground. It is on the Thameslink route, situated between to the south and to the north. Before its opening in 1990, its site was intended for a station to be called on a cancelled extension of the London Underground's Jubilee line, and provision was made for the future station as part of the building works. When it opened, it was named St. Paul's Thameslink, but to avoid confusion with the nearby St. Paul's tube station on the Central line, it was renamed City Thameslink in 1991. Although it is a through-station, for ticketing purposes it is classed as a London terminus for journeys to and from the south. It is in Travelcard Zone 1. HistoryThe station was opened by British Rail on 29 May 1990 as St. Paul's Thameslink. The name was changed to City Thameslink in 1991 to avoid confusion with the Central line station on the London Underground, which is several hundred yards to the east, on the other side of St Paul's Cathedral.
