Liverpool Street Station Completes £22M Roof and Glazing Upgrade
What happened
Liverpool Street station underwent a £22 million upgrade, which included the installation of new roof panels and the replacement of 770 glass panels over the concourse. The project involved removing old glazing panels spanning 11,000m² and restoring the decorative timber valance using more than 800 timber slats, some of which were crafted in Bristol. Network Rail stated that the work significantly increased light levels on platforms 1-10 and improved drainage capacity.
