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 nice tube station to travel into London to avoid the crazy traffic if you are renting a car…read moreand need to go into central London. They have 2 car parks operated by machine. 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!

Harrow on the Hill is a meet point for several branches of the Metropolitan line heading South to London (Uxbridge, Watford, Chesham, Amersham), as well as the Chiltern trains. As such it can be a great meeting place, but it also become a bottle neck during rush hour. There is a bus depot just as you exit the station and the mall is just across the street The station also has a Cafe Nero (no seating area) right by the ticket booth and a Costa Coffee (with seating area) just before you enter the station I gave it only 3 stars as the station tends to be on the dirty side and the waiting rooms often smell like pee

The other thing that rather annoyed me with this station was that you had to touch off to go to the otherside, which was quite annoying (except that I would touch off to go outside anyway).

There seems to be another larger station building on the platform which is no longer used, which is…read morea shame because that station looks much nicer than the newer one that is on the other side. Then again I suspect that this has to do with the line being converted into a tube line.

It's pretty big, and there does happen to be a large shopping district around here, though I have to say that I didn't spend all that much time exploring. I suspect it was because I didn't have a huge amount of time to actually do so. Still, pretty good station.

Each time I've been only one of the Oyster touch in / touch out machines has been working (I had a mild panic attack when I thought none were working last week but all was fine in the end), but that's a small grumble really.

London fields is a very small but nice station with no ticket office and only a ticket machine and oyster card readers. It does however have little information boxes where you can get throught to people working on the trains to find out more information about delays etc. They too are now working The boards with train times used to be very tempramental but are also now in good condition there is ample seating and shelter but too many pigeons. Also if you go to the platform which goes towards enfield town and stand on the stairs (about halfway up) then you can sometimes hear the people who live next door talking loudly and amusingly, sometimes even in english. That is definitely one feature not to be missed!

I used this station before and after watching Manchester City's FA Cup Semi Final fixture against Arsenal. There are four platforms in use at this station with platforms 1 and 2 being both railway and tube, which is strange as they use the same platforms so it can be a little confusing if you aren't from London. After the game, there was some trouble here with Arsenal fans trying to wind up the City fans, meanwhile I managed to prove how nice City fans are by actually giving an Arsenal fan directions with me back to Euston, most trains from southbound platform whether they be tube or rail do call via Euston, The Underground Bakerloo line, London Midland, Overground and Southern all have services from here. Overall, the station is a small station typical of most of London, no shops or anything inside but it is set out more like a tube station rather than an actual railway station. Due to an issue with long trains and short platforms, Virgin Trains don't stop here and might stop nearby at either Watford or Milton Keynes to get a train to here, otherwise you can just carry onto Euston which is probably the best option, which I found out the hard way. The staff at the station seemed mainly unfriendly, apart from one person which I guess is better than nothing. This station caused me so much issues when booking my tickets, to the point where I was on the phone for hours to find out whether this station is accessiable or not, and it is from Platforms 1 and 2 for Overground and Underground services and not 4 and 5 for London Midland and Southern services which is confusing and frustrating and something needs to be done to clear this up and ease confusion. 2 stars for location being so close to Wembley and having probably the most regular trains from the most regular destinations but due to so many flaws I sadly can't go any higher than that for Wembley Central.
