Bishopsgate. Within a few years the station was operating at capacity and was expanded Eastwards in 1895.
Electrification of the commuter lines from London Liverpool Street began in the late 1940s. The station saw redevelopment in the 1980s with office space built above the tracks. In 2022 the Elizabeth Line opened from two new platforms. Below the station is Liverpool Street underground station.
The station is the third busiest on the network after
London Waterloo and
London Victoria. The station is served by Greater Anglia, TfL Rail, c2c and London Overground.
