History of Old Street station

21st Aug 1986A burst water mains flooded the station on 21st August 1986, causing it to close all day and Northern line trains to run a shuttle service on either side of central London. A restricted service was restored the following day - but the escalators were expected to take about 10 weeks to repair.
Circa Dec 1971In the middle of Dec 1971, a third escalator was commissioned, as part of rebuilding works for the ticket hall. It was also the first Marryat and Scott supplied escalator to be used on the London Underground.
