Who keeps deleting the bus connections reference? By my count, it's happened twice in the last 10 days... I've used the TFL website to correct the bus connections - buses like the 341 go nowhere near Barbican station, they go down Old St... Turini2 ( talk) 17:20, 21 September 2017 (UTC)

On 26th April 1897, a bomb exploded under a seat in a first-class carriage in the station, killing one person and injuring nine. The perpetrators were never identified, but anarchism was suspected.

I think to describe the station as multi-modal is a little far fetched. The modes were all trains despite the vernacular use contrasting "tube" for the Underground and "trains" for National Rail.
There's not really any need for the jargon anyway. Just say the station is now only served by London Undeground trains. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 92.232.34.78 ( talk) 21:19, 30 July 2018 (UTC)
With the Elizabeth Line due to open on the 24th May 2022, does the title of the article remain as Barbican tube station, given that the station will have an interchange with the Elizabeth line at Farringdon and indirectly becomes part of the Farringdon network?

This station was totally schizophrenic about its own name. It was always shown as just plain "Aldersgate" till 1968 on tube maps and A to Zs (plenty of evidence including at the LT Museum and Depot). But it seems it was officially named Aldersgate and Barbican from 1924 to 1968. A 1936 LT photo shows the station signs as "Aldersgate Street and Barbican" although the "Street" had been officially dropped in 1910! And a 1957 LT photo does appear to show roundels "Aldersgate & Barbican" on the platforms. Nevertheless, far more people viewed the tube map than saw the station signs, so most had the impression that it was simply "Aldersgate". The 1968 renaming to Barbican removed the confusion (once people got used to the name change). Hyperman 42 ( talk) 10:22, 26 July 2023 (UTC)
