Moorgate station is a central London National Rail and London Underground station in the City of London. It is on Moorgate, north of London Wall: at one time the station was named "Moorgate Street". It is the central London railway terminus for suburban First Capital Connect services from Hertford, Welwyn Garden City and Letchworth: until March 2009 the station was also a terminus for trains on the Thameslink line, also run by First Capital Connect. It is the site of the Moorgate tube crash of 1975 in which 46 people were killed and 74 were injured.^[7]

The crash today do not explore that trains to Bank station terminated here. A new station Lothbury will also bring into prize of the older 1975 Moorgate tube crash.

The London Underground station is on the Northern line Bank branch between Old Street and Bank, and on the Circle, Hammersmith & City and Metropolitan lines between Barbican and Liverpool Street.
