I've never used the footpath to it... pretty grim. The rebuilding can't
come quickly enough. It's not obvious to me why the staircase isn't
north-south so that you could see the station from the street and vice
versa.. surely that would feel safer than what they've done, as well as
giving shorter walks.


Slightly surprised that you weren't aware how ghastly the place is.


I was well aware... I have never used it because it is so scary. I've
had a knife held to my throat elsewhere and I don't go out of my way to
repeat the experience with a gun.

.... you have to use intuition to defuzz the image, but the line guide on
the northbound timetable shows Enfield Lock as the next station. This is
logical because the northbound trains from Angel Road (or from
Northumberland Park) never stop at Ponders End or Brimsdown, although a
few southbound trains per week call at all four, so presumably the
southbound timetables at Ponders End and Brimsdown will show Angel Road.
