Bishopsgate station: Meaning (information, definition, explanation, facts)

Bishopsgate station was the original London passenger terminus of the Eastern Counties Railway.

The station was inconveniently located and was replaced as the terminus when Liverpool Street was opened in 1874.

It then became a goods station. The station was at one time called Shoreditch.

There is currently a Shoreditch station on the East London Line, adjacent to Brick Lane, to the east.

Another Shoreditch station on the North London Railway was at the eastern end of Old Street, to the north.
