104. Stamford Brook


Thursday 12th November 6.15pm

This is one of those stations where the track is actually elevated and looks down over the houses, and the platforms are open air with white wooden roofs, with the ends of the wooden strips cut to triangles (like a picket fence but upside down). Then you walk down stairs to get to the ticket office, which is plain and practical - just brickwork. There's something about these kind of stations I like, which is weird as they're the exact opposite of underground - I think it's something to do with the fact that they're more "everyday" stations, which people use for commuting rather than pleasure, so they're functional and useful
