The Open Guide to London: the free London guide - Differences between Version 3 and Version 2 of Farringdon Station

Contents are identical

Lines Served

Hammersmith and City Circle Line Metropolitan Line	west		King's Cross St. Pancras		Farringdon		Barbican		east
Thameslink	north		King's Cross (Thameslink)		Farringdon		Barbican		Moorgate
							City Thameslink		south

Conveniently there is mobile phone reception on the platforms. The reason I made this page is because when I first used this station I was confused by the signs that pointed me to the right platforms for the Circle and Metropolitan lines, but completely failed to mention the Hammersmith & City one. This is an oversight, just follow the signs. It's all the same platforms.

Interchanges

A few steps connect the southbound Thameslink with the westbound tube platform. Other interchanges involve a staircase.

Where To Alight

• Metropolitan Line westbound: Second carriage from the rear
• Metropolitan Line eastbound: Second carriage from the front
• Circle and H&C eastbound: front of train
• Circle and H&C westbound: rear of train

This is because Metropolitan line trains are longer than the others.
