I love that picture! Now the underground has smartened its act up it feels quite rare to see anything looking tatty. Of course there are bits of it that are a mess because they're being rebuilt, and lots of it is going to look scuffed from use, but this is the first thing like this I've seen and it's right there on platform 1 as the train pulls into the station. Something about that makes me really happy.
The station itself is small with the platforms hardly below ground level, and open to the elements although I guess at one point they had a roof to keep you dry. It only serves one route and I'm starting to think that this type of station: small, no escalators, no endless corridors, just getting local people to where they need to go, is becoming my favourite kind of station.
