More Steps At Stoke Newington

I took the train back from White Hart Lane station to Stoke Newington station in order to get a seventy-free to the Angel for some lunch at Carluccio’s and also do some shopping at Waitrose.

Platform Access at Stoke Newington

These show the steps up from the train to street level.  And of course there is no lift! This was illustrated by a rather large fit guy carying a woman’s large buggy and two children up the stairs, just before I took the picture. Surely we can do better than assure access by having to rely on the kindness of strangers.

The bus stop to go south from Stoke Newington is a large double one, but it doesn’t have one of those displays that tell you how long you’ll have to wait. These are important and really help passengers, as often you have more than one option. For instance yesterday, if I’d had to wait too long for a 73 or 476, I might have changed plan and gone home directly on a 76 via a pub.
