	CULG - Hammersmith & City Line
		Both endpoints were changed yet again before the line was actually constructed: in the east it was cut short to Farringdon, while in the west the Paddington station was moved from the front to the north side of the GWR station, where it did not need to be underground.
		The Great Northern Railway had just been opened, using a temporary station at or near the present site of King's Cross, and the plan was for an underground line of 8 tracks from there southeast, under a newly built road, to a large station complex at more or less the present Farringdon station.
		Initially the line ran into the two westernmost platforms of the GER mainline station (then numbered 12 and 11, but now 1 and 2), but it was diverted on to its present route as part of the continuing drive to complete the Inner Circle (see the Circle Line page).

		Farringdon is a joint station, run by London Underground, rather than Thameslink itself, which has made resolving the long-standing problem dependent on goodwill and close coordination between the two companies.
		Farringdon station, unlike other Thameslink stations in London, is not technically defined as a "London Terminal" when travelling in from the South.
		They have, quite reasonably, asked for a ticket to London, expecting to leap off at the gateway to the city and be about their business in short order.
