Transport Minister Theresa Villiers Goes Walkabout at Farringdon

Transport minister Theresa Villiers has been given a guided tour around the engineering work taking place at Farringdon station. 
Whilst on the tour, the minister was also able to help lay the foundations for what Network Rail has said will be one of the busiest stations in London.  She said: “This important work at Farringdon will see the station transformed into a 21st century transport hub, fit for the needs of a flourishing London.  With the completion of the Crossrail and Thameslink programmes, passengers can look forward to better, faster journeys from a station set to become the busiest in Britain.  Under those plans, the fully redeveloped station will act as an elegant gateway to London, Britain and the continent.  Moreover, Farringdon's patient Thameslink passengers are expected to start to reap the benefits of a much-improved station from as early as Christmas next year.”
