I love and hate this station in equal measures. Why? Because this was the local station of my…read moreformative, teenage years. There aren't many things I haven't experienced here. From early snogs, to puking up after a N5 nightbus trip from Soho, to being chased by weirdos, to witnessing a stabbing to having a quiet moment to contemplate the Menorah that was always set up over Hannukah. Zone 5 on the Northern Line, it doesn't really get much more exciting than this.

So, this is basically the end of the line, or at least one of the ends of the line since most, if…read morenot all, London Undergound lines go through the city and out the other side. Also, once again, like a lot of these stations, there doesn't seem to be all that much around, so yeah I jumped back on and went back the other way.

Stanmore is the northern terminus of the Jubilee Line on the London Underground. It is in Fare Zone…read more5, with 12 trains per hour to Stratford off-peak (via central London), this increases to 18 trains per hour on-peak. The station has buses outside too, making it also useful to get into Watford, which is around a 35-minute bus journey from here. The station was fairly clean, it has step-free access from the street to the platform, although I would advise who can go up the stairs to do so, as the only fully stepless route involves going through a poorly lit car park which can be pretty dangerous even in the day-time. The ticket gates were open for the whole day, this seemed strange as it could mean people potentially passing through the station and easily evading purchasing a ticket, especially considering I could not find any staff members in the station to patrol this. My friend, who is not from London got charged her usual fair and a maximum fare after touching out twice. Come on TFL, there were two minutes between both taps, how could she travel the whole network in two minutes? A useful station for Stanmore and surrounding towns, they have toilets and buses outside the station that allow you to continue your journey and being a terminus station, there is a train in most of the time, so you can get settled without having to wait on a cold platform. 3*

Honestly, there really doesn't seem to be all that much around here, though like a lot of these stations out the city there does seem to be a small shopping strip here.

It's also,very handy they have a cash machine, which does not charge. Their is lots of travel information leaflets plus the Metro Newspaper stand. Their is a cafe right next to the station. On the platform the have a waiting room. Also in my experience I find the trains to be punctual. You have trains going towards North West London to Euston and also Watford Junction. Their is a cafe next door to the station, plus the station is situated in the perfect spot being less than a five minute walk to the Watford High street, with the various eateries around and Intu Watford shopping centre.

Due to a lift issue at Harrow and Wealdstone Station, I had to take a half an hour detour out of my…read morejourney to continue on my Southern Railway train to Harrow Station, only to end up waiting for another train to take me back to Wembley Central, which goes on the opposite platform with a working lift, this trip to the station because of this was an unwanted one. Harrow and Wealdstone Station is a train station in the Harrow area of London, and for ticketing it is classed as region 5. This is quite an old station, to the point where it was made a Grade II Listed building in 1990. The worst ever British railway crash in 1952, which killed 112 people also sadly occurred here at this station. The station is managed by London Underground but has both Underground and Overground trains. As mentioned this station is pretty old, and it has nothing too special about it, it doesn't have a lot of shops or coffee-shops in the station. Services from here go into the likes of Milton Keynes, Wembley Central and London Euston, with the London Euston being an Overground or London Midland service, as I recall this calls at Wembley Central, so if you're going to watch a football match at Wembley this station isn't too far away for you in terms of getting a train into Wembley. As mentioned, a decent yet not fantastic overall level of more local train connections run from here to the likes of Watford, Milton Keynes, Wembley and London, and this station isn't terrible but overall as it lacks any special feature, other than being a Grade II listed building, I sadly feel Harrow and Wealdstone Station deserves a two-star rating, which even then is a little generous.

Very quick to get in / out of the station - just mind where you entered and where you exit. Used the Oyster card and found it very easy to tap in / out. The staff working there are very friendly and will help you out if get confused. Just remember they have 4 platforms and the above ground trains help you see that. Found their bathroom & snack shop very useful for the 35 minute trip into London!
