167. Stanmore


Saturday 17th February 10.25am

The end of the Jubilee line! There's a different feeling about these end of the line stations - the trains just waiting there, not poised to leave at any second take a bit of getting used to, and because it's in the middle of nowhere (relatively) it's not busy, and there's no need to run for a train. The sunny day made it feel more relaxed too.

There's parking beside it for lots of trains so I imagine that looks impressive when it's full. The station itself is up an unexpectedly long flight of stairs from the platform and the building itself looks like the houses in the surrounding area, which makes sense as it started life as a Metropolitan line station, before switching to the Bakerloo line and finally the Jubilee line.
