City Thameslink railway station - Definition and Overview

City Thameslink station is an underground mainline railway station in the City of London, at the point where Fleet Street becomes Ludgate Hill.

It is in zone 1, between Blackfriars station and Farringdon station on the Thameslink service. It was opened in 1988 as St Paul's Thameslink. The name was apparently changed to avoid confusion with St. Paul's tube station, which is several hundred yards away and on the other side of St Paul's Cathedral.

City Thameslink station replaced Holborn Viaduct railway station, which was a terminus located close to Holborn Viaduct itself and which was closed on January 26th, 1990.
