London Bridge Upgrade
 |
The rebuilding of London Bridge station and its environs is now well underway. This redevelopment is to improve through-train capacity and flow in connection with the Thameslink Programme. The route between Blackfriars and London Bridge has long been a bottleneck - a victim of the huge sucess of Thameslink. The Network Rail poster to the left explains the timescale. |

Lester Hayes paid a flying visit to London Bridge on 3rd January 2012 and took these two photographs. The very modern new bridge over Borough High Street is a major contrast to the existing plate girder bridges to the north of it. |

In the webmaster's opinion the forecourt bus garage was a gloomy place even on the brightest days and although protection from the weather has gone the ambiance is much improved now the canopy has been removed. |
 |
The concourse beyond the barrier line of the terminal platforms was also confined and gloomy. Just at the moment there is daylight! |
