Network Rail redesigns Liverpool Street proposals

Must read

A public webinar will be held at 10am on 20 November and members of the public have until 4 December to submit their feedback via the website, Network Rail said.

Director of The Victorian Society James Hughes said Network Rail has only just begun consulting the public and the amenity societies, and it will have a view “when we have had time and sufficient material with which to consider it”.

A Historic England spokesperson has said it is considering its position and “will work closely with Network Rail, alongside the City of London, to advise as the new scheme develops”.

Friedrich Ludewig, founding director at ACME, said: “The 1990s saw a few stations such as Victoria, Cannon Street and Charing Cross compromised by over-station development.

“At Liverpool Street, we will retain the sense of a tall and airy concourse, with a flexible workplace building above to fund the development of the station at street level.”

Network Rail has been contacted for a response regarding progress with the previous application. Sellar has also been contacted for comment.
