Services
The London Underground part of the station is served by the Metropolitan, Hammersmith & City and Circle lines, the stations on either side being King's Cross St. Pancras and Barbican.
Farringdon is also served by First Capital Connect trains from Brighton to Bedford, calling at Gatwick Airport, or from Luton to Sutton or Wimbledon. The stations on either side are City Thameslink and St Pancras International.
Until 20 March 2009, some First Capital Connect weekday peak-hour trains ran into Moorgate and terminated there rather than continuing south to Blackfriars and beyond. These services were withdrawn to allow the junction at the south end of the station to be removed so that the platforms could be extended to take 12-coach trains.
Passengers can still travel from Farringdon to Barbican and Moorgate using the London Underground service.
Farringdon is in Transport for London's Travelcard Zone 1.
