Tiled mural design at Haggerston, opened as part of London Overground, 2010.

All of the former Network Rail stations have been refurbished and rebranded by TfL, just as London Transport did to the LNER surface stations taken over for the Northern and Central line extensions in the 1940s. Where completely new stations have been built, such as Hoxton and Haggerston, these have the quality of the best modern urban design but also make a gesture back to Holden’s classic Tube stations of the 1930s.

Crossrail, a far more ambitious project, is a joint venture between TfL and the Department of Transport to build a new railway right under London linking Heathrow and Maidenhead in the west with Shenfield and Abbey Wood in the east. New tunnels will take high-frequency mainline-size trains deep below central London, with Tube interchange at seven new stations between Paddington and Canary Wharf. It will be the London equivalent of the Paris RER lines built in the 1970s, which are separate from the city’s Metro but linked to it.
