Network Rail has submitted a planning application to redevelop Liverpool Street station, proposing the addition of two towers above the ticket hall while preserving the historic train shed. The project aims to enhance passenger experience with increased accessibility through eight new lifts and ten escalators. The station's concourse will be revamped to alleviate overcrowding and improve passenger flow with more ticket barriers and toilets. Although the scheme has faced controversy, it is considered less divisive than the previously proposed design, which was largely rejected by the public. Robin Dobson from Network Rail highlights the importance of passenger needs and historical preservation in planning.
