What Happened to Holborn Viaduct Station?

Holborn Viaduct was a London railway terminus that opened in 1874 with grand ambitions to serve main line and Continental boat trains, and closed one hundred and sixteen years later as a rush-hour-only commuter halt. Its fate was sealed by the very tunnel that once gave it purpose. This is the story of a station born ambitious, wounded by two wars, and quietly erased by the same infrastructure that created it.
