The history section explores the station’s past, including its role in the Kindertransport rescue mission between 1938 and 1939.

Lady Linda Reich, whose late husband Sir Erich Reich is depicted as a little boy in the Kindertransport memorial, said: “The history exhibition is fascinating, and it includes a section on the Kindertransport mission, which rescued Erich from Nazi Europe aged four and brought him to this country.

“Liverpool Street station was the last stop on a long journey to safety for almost all the nearly 10,000 children who like him came on the Kindertransport.

“I’m glad that passengers have the chance to discover such a remarkable chapter of their station’s history.”
