The Thameslink Programme is transforming rail travel in London. By the time the project is completed in 2018 there will be spacious new trains, every two to three minutes through central London at peak times.

The £6.5bn government-sponsored Thameslink Programme also includes rebuilding London Bridge station.

Almost 54 million passengers pass through London Bridge station every year, and the improved facilities will provide two-thirds more space for passengers.

The new concourse at London Bridge station will be bigger than the pitch at Wembley Stadium, and will include with new retail and station facilities.

The new concourse will allow passengers to access all platforms from one place.

Entrances on Tooley Street and St Thomas Street will connect the surrounding areas.

Tube and bus links will be improved and lifts and escalators will provide step free access to every platform.

The station work will help regenerate the wider area, building on the redevelopment which has taken place in recent years including the Shard, which funded a new bus station.
