Comment[edit]

Not sure when this station closed as it remained open in a low-level format for a while after Liverpool Street opened. MRSC 17:28, 30 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Bridge[edit]

"The new line into Liverpool Street paralleled the viaduct so a number of goods facilities were demolished or altered at this time. A large bridge was constructed where the new line passed under the Braithwaite viaduct."

What bridge is this? Is this simply to mean that the new line passed through the basement level of Bishopsgate? Criticalthinker (talk) 10:20, 17 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

This was the new East London Line bridge. That sentence could be better though but it was not the actual basement which was on the level of the Great Eastern Main Line.--Davidvaughanwells (talk) 19:52, 23 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, I'm trying to think up a way to describe this that would be easier to visualize. Because the platforms for this new suburban line were accessed through the goodsyard station and sat at the same level as the basement and the separate station within the cut directly south of the goodsyard station. I just think "bridge" is a confusing way to describe it. It's more of a tunnel through the basement or at least flush with the basement of the goodsyard. I guess it'd help to know if this tunnel existed prior to the addition of the suburban tracks through this area. Criticalthinker (talk) 05:52, 11 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
