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 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.

Found their bathroom & snack shop very useful for the 35 minute trip into London!

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.

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's better to Wembley Park than to Wembley Idle, so you don't waste gas…read more Definitely one of the most impressive stations in London on a great many levels. Wembley Park is rocking on a match day or for a concert, and then on other days it's slow and sleepy and serves a little windswept community of middle-income Northwest Linden. Match days are when it comes alive and I love it here at both times. It's amazing although I really really miss the old school Wembley, which I was thrilled to visit a very long time ago when I was a very young child by myself - but don't tell my parents - to see a Michael Jackson concert.

They have a newsagent and a flower shop which is attached to the station. Yes! their are areas that could do with a little update but it really isn't that bad. Grubby...I don't think so!

Greenford is situated on the Central Line of London Underground, and is also the terminus of the…read morebranch from West Ealing, from where trains continue onwards to Paddington. The first station on the site was on the Great Western extension line and opened in 1904, although this closed when the Central Line was extended from North Action as fas as Greenford in 1947. The Central Line was extended to its present terminus at West Ruislip in 1948. The station is essentially a large island platform situated on a viaduct, with a single terminating bay platform in the middle for the Paddington trains, providing a perfect interchange. The street level buildings are in a straightforward modernist style, the ticket hall having a raised roof with fully glazed walls, giving it a light and spacious feel. There are a number of small businesses in the ticket hall. The Central Line operates at roughly 4-5 minute intervals off-peak, reducing in the evenings and on Sundays. The Paddington to Greenford service operates half hourly Mondays to Saturdays (closed Sundays). Oyster pay-as-you-go can be used on the Paddington service, making a useful interchange with the District Line at Ealing Broadway. Buses E6, 92 and 105 (to Heathrow) stop outside the station entrance. For train anoraks, the terminating platform still retains its GWR-style lower quadrant semaphore signal, and there is a semaphore signal gantry on the adjacent National Rail line as well.

Station has a cab office just past the ticket barriers, coffee shop and newsagent (where you can also top up your Oyster card of the queue is too long at the Oyster machines), plus bus stops directly outside the station, I would give this 5 stars but it loses one as there is no train information near the ticket office (showing you how long you have until the next train is due, you have wait until you are up on the platforms to see the train indicator boards, and many times I have just missed a train).
