\"\"<\/a>In line with the\u00a0ongoing Thameslink upgrade project<\/a> the closure of central London’s Blackfriars<\/a> tube station has been announced for March 2009 as part of a massive restoration which is expected to last until late 2011.<\/p>\n

It has been reported that Blackfriars mainline station will remain open during the regenerative works but all services to Blackfriars tube will be suspended.\u00a0 The news comes as a bit of blow to local serviced office providers, the likes of MWB on Fleet Street<\/a> and\u00a0Kingshott on New Bridge Street<\/a>, where clients will have to be prepared to walk further to access London’s underground.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Project plans for Blackfriars include an enlarged Tube ticket hall, step-free access, increased capacity and improvements to interchange services with the overground station meaning that although local businesses will be inconvenienced for a time, the overall improvements should be\u00a0huge\u00a0with London’s underground well overdue for a major face-lift!\u00a0 And, with Temple and Mansion House, as well as St Pauls, all situated within relative close proximity of the station, clients are facing only a short addition to the length of their daily commute.<\/p>\n

The Thameslink upgrade of\u00a0Blackfriars\u00a0includes plans for the number of peak-time trains to increase significantly and will see the introduction of 12 carriage trains as opposed to the current 8 carriage service.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The ~5.5 billion project began in October 2007 with the extention of platforms at Luton<\/a> Airport Parkway station.\u00a0 The main aim of this massive undertaking\u00a0is to beat congestion through the introduction of longer trains with more seats and thereby offering a less crowded,\u00a0more efficient and far more pleasant system\u00a0for use by the thousands of daily commuters travelling in and around central\u00a0London<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
