Palmers Green Rail Station

A weird little gem this.
Direct trains into Moorgate via Old Street during the week and direct trains into Kings Cross on the weekend — score.
The platform is a bit of a step back in time to old victorian times with a beautiful veranda and even a waiting room (!) to keep you warm during those cold winter commutes.
And wait for this: a real little café on the platform that does some great coffee… and also sells woolen blankets (yeah, uh, no idea what that is about either, but it’s cute and quirky!)

Its got the lot! Trains, seats and shelter from the rain too! Oh and a nice little place to buy your tea in the morning. But don’t light-​up cos they’ll escort you from the platform, unless you’re a chav and then apparently its ok.

This is another of those random stations whih seems incredibly poorly designed and lacking in any kind of meaningful information. There are two humble platforms with a sprinkling of seating and cover. But still 15 mins and you are in the heart of the city where it is all happening. Buy your tickets from the shop next door if there is a queue and fill up in the nearby McDonald’s or KFC nearby. There really needs to be decent lighting on the platform stations on this train route though, who knows what station you are at, especially when there are train maps nowhere to be found. Overall, functional but no St. Pancras.

I like Palmers Green! its pretty much a platform with a couple of benches, but thats all you need at the stupidly early hours that I have to leave for work!
There is a nice coffee shop on the platform, that does a mean Mocha, which if I have run down the hill quick enough of a morning, always helps the train ride sppeed by.
There is also a Morrisons opposite, which is useful on the way home too!
(oh by the way trains go to Moorgate, and Herts!)
