Construction of the new Metropolitan line station was accomplished by filling in the running tunnel to provide a concourse and diverting the tracks into old tunnels that ran outside of and parallel with the original running tunnels - the old tunnels were short City Widened Lines westerly extensions beyond the junction where they veered north to St.Pancras. (This page deals only with the Metropolitan line part of the station. The Widened lines / Thameslink side is dealt with on its own page).
