I remember the first time I went to Stratford about 10 or so years ago. The signage then was so bad I stood and cried because I couldn't figure out what platform I needed for Chelmsford and there was no-one around to ask. My boss says there is an alternative at Bank to cut out the Central...

Kenley has lights on all night with the last train at 00:54 and the first not until 05:58. I assumed that this was due to the fact that the station never really closes - there's an entrance and exit on both platforms connected by the footbridge which are open all the time. I have noticed that...
