Network Rail has released a fly-through video of its plans to transform London Liverpool Street into a modern, all-encompassing transport hub.

Following almost 2,000 individual comments on a public consultation regarding the plans; the proposals have thus far attracted significant public support, with over 1,000 people registering their backing on the City of London’s planning portal – rendering it one of the most supported planning applications ever submitted to the City of London.

In December 2025; Liverpool Street was named Britain’s busiest railway station for the third year in a row, recording nearly 100 million rail entries and exists alongside underground customers, with passenger numbers forecast to rise to 158 million by 2041.

The proposed redevelopment seeks to ensure a future-proofed station, and is set to be capable of accommodating more than 200 million people in the coming decades.

Network Rail’s new fly-through video showcases the proposed enhancements, illustrating how the station could look from a passenger’s perspective. The look has been designed following feedback from current station customers, who expressed a desire for expanded step-free access, as well as new lifts and escalators to increase accessibility to both the mainline station and London Underground.

Proposals include an enlarged concourse, eight new lifts, additional ticket barriers, new restrooms/family facilities and clearer signage.

The transport-led scheme focuses on delivering public infrastructure improvements, which would be supported by an all-new office building above the station concourse – designed to better showcase the Grade II listed Andaz Hotel. Proposals will also seek to enhance landmark entrances on Liverpool Street, Bishopsgate and Exchange Square to celebrate the historic station architecture.

Ellie Burrows, Network Rail Managing Director for Eastern said:

This really shows how the transformed Liverpool Street could better serve our customers, offering more space, improved accessibility and a station designed for future demand. It’s time London Liverpool Street, the capital’s gateway to the city, became a destination in its own right, delivering for passengers both today and for generations to come.
