Holborn Viaduct was constructed as a six-platform terminus, with two island platforms and two side platforms, covered by a three-roof train shed. The redevelopment that began in 1963 saw the replacement of the train shed with shorter platform canopies, while a new concourse was constructed within the new office building on the ground floor level - the platforms were located at the first floor level.
The last train out of Holborn Viaduct was a special fomed of two class 415 units (8 CEP). It was half an enthusaist special (only £5!) and half dedicated to those involved in the Ludgate project. Both Chris Green and Gordon Pettitt travlled on the train which visited every London terminal used at that time by South Eastern. It terminated at Charing Cross and a reception for the Ludgate Project guests was held in the Charing Cross Hotel.
