Railway extension at Liverpool Street Station

1912

This evocative image from 1912 captures the newly extended platform of Liverpool Street Station, part of the Central London Railway—a key addition to London’s rapidly expanding Underground network.

🚇 Milestone in Transport History
That same year, 1912, saw a major milestone in London’s infrastructure: the opening of the Liverpool Street extension, connecting the Central London Railway with the Eastern Railway network. This development improved access across the city and heralded a more integrated metropolitan transit system.

🕰️ A Glimpse of Edwardian Commutes
Notice the elegant curved tilework, gas-style lighting, and vintage clock—symbols of early 20th-century design and innovation in public transport.
