So, this place happens to be pretty far out from the centre of London, but when you jump off the…read moretrain you discover that you happen to be located in the heart of a main street, which I have to admit is pretty cool. The other thing is that it turns out that it doesn't really take all that long to get into the centre of the city. Yeah, it's not bad actually.

You know I do actually think that it is pretty cool that there happens to be another station that…read moreis located on another main street. Like, that sort of works in quite a few ways. The odd thing is that this is a single stop away from other stations that this happens to be the case, even though we happen to be on the edge of London. Yeah, it's cool.

This is the first time I've used this station and yes it meh. I've experience better…read more Eastcote station serves the Metopolitan line and Picadilly line trains. Eastcote is on the Uxbridge side of the line. This station has two platforms, with no lifts so I carried my bicycle up those stairs with my Wonder Women self. I was greatly relieved to see toilets as you come out of the barriers. The toilets and station it self is sooooo ancient. Please give this station some TLC! Although I have to say the loos were clean at least.

Northwood station serves the Metroplitan line. Platform 1 going into London and platform 2 going in…read moretoo Watford or Chesham. The station is in Travelcard zone six. One of the platforms has a well heated waiting room. Both platforms have ample seating along the platform. Coming out of the station you have your usuals, but what is unique is they have a side room for bycycles to be parked in at your own peril. 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! This station is in a rich area, if it was that bad someone would of complained about it by now.

Due to a lift issue at Harrow and Wealdstone Station, I had to take a half an hour detour out of my…read morejourney to continue on my Southern Railway train to Harrow Station, only to end up waiting for another train to take me back to Wembley Central, which goes on the opposite platform with a working lift, this trip to the station because of this was an unwanted one. 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 nice tube station to travel into London to avoid the crazy traffic if you are renting a car…read moreand need to go into central London. They have 2 car parks operated by machine. 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. The staff working there are very friendly and will help you out if get confused. Just remember they have 4 platforms and the above ground trains help you see that. Found their bathroom & snack shop very useful for the 35 minute trip into London!

A small station on the First Great Western line between Reading and Paddington. Two tracks, one…read moreeastbound (into London) and one westbound (towards Slough and Reading). The "slow" platforms are typically the only ones used - the "fast" train continues onwards at very high speed. Ticket offices are open between 06:30 and 20:30 plus there is an Oyster card reader. Very limited parking is available. Services and refreshments are limited - two very small shops selling snacks, candies and sodas, plus newspapers. There is also a vending machine. Bus stops are on the North side of the tracks that go to Uxbridge and other places. These are the London bus routes 222, 350, U1, U3 and U5.

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.
