London Stratford station
 

Hello.
I would like to know if are there lockers to leave luggages in the
Stratford sation.
According to the website there are not luggages facilities, but someone
told me that during the Olimpic Games there was for sure lockers.
Help me please.
Thanks in advance.

Unfortunately there are no left luggage facilities at Stratford
Station or at Stratford International Station. [there are two
separate stations at Stratford].

The National Rail website has details if you enter the station name on
this page and then click on the "General Services Information" tab
when the station details load.

The nearest railway station with left luggage facilities is London
Liverpool Street - about 10 mins away by train from Stratford.

Thank you very much.

I don't know about Stratford, but this is a link to the company providing
left luggage services at several London railway stations:

http://www.left-baggage.co.uk/locations.php

Please note that it's not lockers but a staffed service with security
screening. According to their FAQ no luggage lockers are available in the
UK.

It's expensive, £8.50 per item.

Not at railway stations, but bus stations sometimes have them.

No personal experience. Try Victoria Coach Station, then work outwards
from there.

I think that Kyle of Lochalsh station is a bit further from Stratford
than Liverpool Street, however.

I could be wrong, though.

Has facilities of some sort at Victoria, Glasgow, Edinburgh and
Sheffield, but this must be just the ones they manage because there are
definitely lockers at the bus/coach station in Nottingham (lockers
operated by the City Council).

Edinburgh is lockers:

And it seems Glasgow and Edinburgh are too.

Doing some more random Googling, also at Inverness, Chorley....

The list goes on, but it's that long of a list.

collect it before the left luggage staff go home.

Which is 11pm at most London Termini, and midnight at Victoria.

I've used Paddington, Victoria and Kings Cross in the past; all when
doing trips where I didn't have a "home base" in the London area.

And while the London ones seem expensive, the rucksack-sized ones I've
used in Geneva aren't cheap, CHF7-10 which is about £5-7.

It's a shame but there you go. Years back you couldn't (really) do an
Interrail in Europe without recourse to station luggage lockers to
dump your rucksack. Nowadays I assume you lug it round or fork out a
load of money and need to collect it before the left luggage staff go
home.

A fair number of tourist attractions on the Continent offer lockers for
visitors, or will let you dump a bag somewhere. These days
hostels also seem happier than in the past about storing their guests'
bags for the day before/after their stay.

My point was that there is in the UK at least one (perhaps Wick and Thurso
have some, I can't remember) railway station with unmanned lockers. Roland
said otherwise.

At Oslo Central (Oslo sentralstatsjon, Oslo S) they cost from NOK 60 and
upwards, about £6.5.

At that stage I was thinking of London, but will give you half a point.

Meanwhile, how secure are "Cycle lockers" - I now note some stations
(not necessarily London Termini, I haven't looked) have pay-per-use
Cycle Lockers, and I suppose you could stick baggage in them instead?

Or would that trigger a security alert.

As does Wick - although not sure the OP fancies a trip to the Highlands
(although a beautiful run if he does - did a trip report for a snowy Far
North Line over on uk.railway a couple of years ago)
