Farringdon Station

Farringdon is a London Underground and connected main line National Rail station in Clerkenwell, in the London Borough of Islington, just outside of the City of London. It was opened in 1863 as the terminus of the Metropolitan Railway, which was the world's first underground railway. Today the Underground station is served by the Circle, Hammersmith & City, and Metropolitan lines between and. The National Rail station is one of the less important main line central London stations, being a stop on the Thameslink route between and, but that is expected to change when it becomes a major interchange station between the two largest transport infrastructure programmes currently under construction in the city: Crossrail and the Thameslink Programme, both scheduled for completion in 2018–2019.
