伦敦桥站的历史

London Bridge is the capital’s oldest railway station and has undergone many changes in its complex history.

It has always been a busy station and it has adapted to meet demand. Its story reflects the ambition, competition and conflict which characterised the development of the railway infrastructure in London.

原来的伦敦桥

伦敦桥上的第一站于1836年12月14日在Tooley Street开放，由伦敦和格林威治铁路（LGR）以及其线索，即Deptford。

The original station was not grand; a simple building providing a booking hall and company offices, and two platforms at the end of the new viaduct without a trainshed to cover passengers and trains.

It was only a small company, but the LGR realised its money could be made by leasing its line and terminus to the many railway companies wanting access to London from the south east.

Complicated agreements

LGR达成的第一份协议与伦敦和克罗伊登铁路（LCR）在一起。LCR利用LGR曲目，但在6月1839中，该公司在LGR站北部开设了自己的车站建筑，在伦敦大桥的动作中设置了一个复杂的未来。

As more railways between London and the south east were authorised, further agreements were entered into by both the LGR and the LCR for access to London Bridge. By the 1840s four companies were now using the viaduct approach to the station and paying high tolls to the LGR per passenger to do so; to increase capacity the LGR widened the viaduct.

The arrangement of the busy lines going into London Bridge meant there was often a dangerous crossing of the tracks in order for trains to reach their respective sides of the station. So in 1844 the railway companies swapped stations; the now joint station of the London & Croydon, the London & Brighton and South Eastern railway companies was established in the London & Greenwich terminus to the south of the station site, while the London & Greenwich used the old London & Croydon station buildings to the north.

Company fall-outs

The combined companies set about demolishing the original LGR station to build a new joint terminus that could cope with demand. This new station opened in 1844 but was only partially built.

In 1846 the LCR and the London and Brighton railways merged to form the London Brighton & South Coast Railway. This new company could not agree future plans for the joint station with the South Eastern Railway, who left the partnership at London Bridge to establish its own station at Bricklayers Arms.

The LBSCR took over the unfinished joint station building and demolished it in 1849. Bricklayers Arms did not function well as a passenger station and the SER came back to London Bridge having agreed new terms with the LGR.

In 1850 the SER built a dividing wall, physically separating their north side of the London Bridge station site from the LBSCR, and set about building their own terminus. The LBSCR did the same on their south side of the site.

During the 1850s and 1860s traffic and passenger numbers at London bridge steadily increased as new lines were developed taking the railway further into the City and the west end.

In 1864 the SER side of the station turned into a through station with the line extension northwards and to the new SER terminus at Charing Cross. The LBSCR station remained a terminus with platforms added to cope with traffic associated with day trippers to the re-located Crystal Palace, and holidaymakers to Brighton.

该站汇集在一起

1923年，南部铁路控制了两个站点，并通过打开分裂墙并在两者之间建造行人天桥来组合两者。

But the layout was still confusing and congested for passengers. In 1940 the station was damaged during a bombing raid the damage and repairs doing little to help the situation.

在20世纪60年代后期，伦敦大桥再次达到了能力，英国铁轨进行了一项重新开发的车站，安装了一个新的信令计划和新站大厅，包括新的办公室块住宿和一个新的正面，其中包含1978年开放的公共汽车站。

A station for the 21st century

在21^st世纪，车站再次发现自己在重大变化的中心。自2013年以来，政府赞助的泰晤士河赛计划已将车站转变为五年，2018年完工的5亿英镑的重建，以帮助满足未来的基础设施需求。

Improvements included new entrances on Tooley Street and St Thomas Street, a huge new concourse which unifies the station for the first time and step free access to every platform, following the installation of new lifts and escalators. The track layout at the station was also reconfigured and new platforms created to accommodate Thameslink trains.

The redevelopment is also ensuring that the station becomes a destination in its own right, with new shops, cafes, bars and restaurants all helping transform the surrounding area.

在重建之后，伦敦桥站于2018年5月9日星期三，剑桥威廉威廉威廉正式重新开放。
