The station will have 13 platforms when it fully reopens on 14 November, with six Eurostar platforms (pictured).

There will also be three domestic operators running out of the station: First Capital Connect, Midland Mainline and Govia - which will run the high speed bullet trains from 2009.

Since the project started in 1997, domestic services into the station have remained operational but have been pushed back beyond the original Barlow train shed.
