Ludgate Hill railway station (original) (raw)

dbo:abstract

Ludgate Hill war ein Bahnhof im Zentrum von London. Er wurde am 1. Juni 1865 von der (LC&DR) eröffnet und lag am Ludgate-Viadukt zwischen der Queen Victoria Street und Ludgate Hill am Westrand der City of London. Nördlich des Bahnhofs führte der Bahnviadukt weiter zum Snow-Hill-Tunnel, der eine Verbindung zur erst kurz zuvor eröffneten Metropolitan Railway bei Farringdon herstellte und so den Betrieb durchgehender Züge zwischen dem Norden und Süden Londons ermöglichte. Der Personenverkehr durch den Tunnel wurde am 1. Juni 1916 eingestellt und die Züge verkehrten nur noch wenige hundert Meter weiter zum 1874 eröffneten Kopfbahnhof Holborn Viaduct. Aufgrund der kurzen Distanz zwischen Holborn Viaduct und Blackfriars wurde der Bahnhof Ludgate Hill kaum noch benutzt und schließlich am 3. März 1929 geschlossen. Im Jahr 1990 wurden die Überreste des Bahnhofs abgerissen, ebenso der Ludgate-Viadukt und der Bahnhof Holborn Viaduct. Vom Bahnhof ist nichts erhalten geblieben und auf dem Gelände steht ein Bürohochhaus über einem neu errichteten Tunnel, der den alten Snow-Hill-Tunnel mit dem Bahnhof Blackfriars verbindet. Unmittelbar nördlich des alten Bahnhofs Ludgate Hill befindet sich im Tunnel die Station City Thameslink. (de)
Ludgate Hill was a railway station in the City of London that was opened on 1 June 1865 by the London, Chatham and Dover Railway (LC&DR) as its City terminus. It was on Ludgate Viaduct (a railway viaduct) between Queen Victoria Street and Ludgate Hill, slightly north of St. Paul's station (now called Blackfriars station) on the site of the former Fleet Prison. North of Ludgate Hill station, Ludgate Viaduct continued to the Snow Hill tunnel to connect with the then recently opened Metropolitan Railway south of Farringdon station to enable main-line trains to run between north and south London. Passenger services through the tunnel ended in 1916, after which services ran only the few hundred yards (metres) to Holborn Viaduct station which had opened in 1874. Ludgate Hill became little used because of its proximity to the Holborn Viaduct and St. Paul's stations, and on 3 March 1929 Ludgate Hill was closed. The platform buildings remained derelict until they were demolished in the 1960s but the island platform remained until 1974. Remains of the street-level buildings and traces of the platform and staircase lasted until the whole station area and viaduct were demolished in 1990. In the 1970s, in the Fleet line proposal, preparatory work began for Ludgate Circus Underground station very near the site of the former Ludgate Hill station, but it was abandoned when a different alignment was chosen for the Jubilee line, as it later became known. An office building now stands at the site, above a new tunnel which connects the revived Snow Hill tunnel and Blackfriars station for Thameslink services. City Thameslink station, the platforms of which are in tunnel, has its southern exit building on Ludgate Hill, 90 metres north of the centre of the old station. (en)
