Is There A Worse Station Than This In London?
I took the last train for some time to North Sheen station, which I had been told was bad, but I couldn’t believe what I found.
This Google Map shows the station layout.
- It must have one of the longest lists of fundamental faults of any station.
- To get into and out of the station, you need to climb up and down a step footbridge.
- It has the worst step-free access I’ve ever seen.
- There were no staff.
- It has an inconvenient level crossing.
- There was no car parking or even anywhere to drop and pick up a passenger.
In some ways, what makes matters worse is that the station has ten-car platforms which at times must bring large numbers of passengers.
The only good thing about the station, was that a ticket machine was on the platform.
It is a truly dreadful station.

It’s not as grim as the ‘scenic’ walkway to Angel Road station from Conduit Lane.

I’ll agree Angel Road is bad, But Angel Road only handles about a twentieth of the passengers that North Sheen does. It’s also going to be rebuilt.into Meridian Waters.
