Investigating St. Johns Station

St. Johns station is a curious one, in that it is just two platforms on the slow lines, amongst a forest of lines.

This map shows the lines around St. Johns station to Lewisham, New Cross and New Cross Gate stations.

These are pictures I took of the station.

As the pictures show, it is a fairly basic station, although it does get over half a million passengers a year.

On the other hand, it does have Southbound services to Lewisham, Orpington, Hayes, Slade Green and a host of places all over South East London.

I believe that if the station were to be upgraded with step-free access to the street, a nice warm waiting room, a coffee stall and excellent information, then this station would become the preferred interchange for passengers on East London Line trains wanting to go to and from many places in South East London.
