Moorgate station

Moorgate station is a central London National Rail and London Underground station in the City of London. It is on Moorgate, north of London Wall: at one time the station was named "Moorgate Street". It is the central London railway terminus for suburban First Capital Connect services from Hertford, Welwyn Garden City and Letchworth: until March 2009 the station was also a terminus for trains on the Thameslink line, also run by First Capital Connect. It is the site of the Moorgate tube crash of 1975 in which 46 people were killed and 74 were injured.
