I could quite well be because they were built around the same time, and are also termini. Mind you, Uxbridge actually is much, much more lively than Cockfosters, but I suspect that is because Cockfosters is actually a suburb as opposed to Uxbridge, which feels much more like a village.

I've also managed to catch a bus here to West Drayton rail station - others go to Heathrow from here though they're not express.

This is the only way to get into London. A Taxi all the way into town is crazy expensive. Taking…read morethe Tube is nuts when you have luggage. Taking the train into town and getting a Taxi from Paddington works well for me -- even working over near the square mile. The trains are clean. The run on a good schedule. Even though you won't be on it for that long, the power jacks are handy to have. The Internet works well. The seats are comfortable. I can't think of any real flaws. They even have excellent striping and signage to get you where you want to be at the Airport and Paddington.

I didn't really have anyone in my car, so nobody really bothered me. I wish most trains were like this in the U.S. It is quite expensive though (about 20 pounds or so, or about $35 USD) to get into the heart of London. I guess that's just how it is here.

Conveniently located next to the Underground/Train station and the twin Harrow Shopping Centres of…read moreSt Ann's and St George it is a major travel hub in Harrow. The bus station is not large as such but has a rectangular layout with bus stops on both sides with waiting space in between. The stops are clearly marked and there is an electronic arrival/departure timing boards showing the list of bus routes where buses are expected. The station has a newsagent that sells stuff you need during your travel and also has option to top up the Oyster card as well. There is a small 'Treats' snack shack where you can get small bites and drinks. The station gets extremely crowded during peak times. One of the popular route is 140 which is the service to Heathrow Airport, and is a 24 hr service. As I said, it delivers but nothing to rave about.

It has always had a bit of an ongoing thing where it plays classical music throughout the building - I think there was some old thing where classical music prevents kids from staying at a location. Regardless, it's quite nice (although that may be my age aiding that opinion!). The actual layout is a bit of a mess as the buses often get backed up trying to get into the stops around the back of the station as it just takes a little traffic and it all jams up. Plus whenever a bus stops at the first stop around the back, it inevitably jams everything up again. Sadly though, it's a victim of its own success as there simply isn't the footprint available to change the layout to something better since it backs directly onto the underground tracks.

It seems as if this station has had some renovations done to it since it was first built, namely…read morewith the entrance, which appears that it has a building built on top of it. It's another one of those interchange stations. The platforms do seem to be somewhat original though, at least with the shelters.

There are several…read morewaiting rooms as well, to get out of the cold or rain One can access other platforms by going up the stairs and across or through underground pathways at each platform. 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

It's a nice station that is a bit more "overground" than "underground", meaning that it just doesn't look like a Tube station. Pinner is in Travelcard Zone 5, between North Harrow and Northwood Hills on the Amersham/Chesham branch. Trains from here into London go to Baker Street and sometimes further. There is a staffed ticket booth and automated ticket vending machines as well as the usual ticket barricades and Oyster readers. Surprisingly, this station is completely step-free, which earns it a fourth star in my rating guidelines. Just outside and across the way is a full-size Sainsbury's and a mini-cab taxi office is attached to the station. Note that the Tube does not run all night. There is a last train into London,generally between 12:00-12:30 am on weeknights and 11:30-12:00 on Sunday's.

During peak times,only All Stations or Semi-fast trains stops at Pinner so the frequency is but less compared to Harrow-on-the-hill but not a big issue. If I happen to get a slow train I jump into a fast at Harrow-on-the-hill. The southbound platform has a news agents and also toilet facilities reminding one of how stations were in the past. A good mix of old and new the station is a small two platform one. The main entrance to the station is to the south-bound however the northbound has an exit which is open during peak times which is convenient for me. The station car park is huge and is attached to a large Sainsbury's.

It dissects the city in an almost north, south direction, running from Hampstead Heath to Pimlico. I love this bus because it is regular, quick and doesn't fill up with the late night fools that have had one to many WKD Blues.
