Define 'worst'?

Ugliest? Smelliest? Most vandalised? Poorest service? Most
inaccessible to people with children in buggies? Hardest to pronounce?

You forgot "to work at" for which I'd like to nominate Arnos Grove (EB) on a
cold, wet, just on the edge of sleet November Friday evening at about 18:30
when the job's up the wall and the SDM at Earls Court has just decided in
his (or her) infinite wisdom to short-trip 3 Cocks on the spin then
erroneously pulled off the WB starter for the one that's supposed to go to
through and has to take a release, shutting us down for another 2
minutes...Oh the laughs and jolly badinage we have with the punters;-)

Hillingdon. Perched over the A40, it's the noisiest and smelliest place in
London.

That's why my vehicle's the Piccadilly Line -
It's the size of a county and it comes every two and a half minutes

Edgware Road

How difficult is it for an announcer to let us in on the secret of which
District Line train goes to Notting Hill Gate first ?

Why do you need an announcer when there are signs which tell you which is
the first train (District *or Circle*) to High St Kensington, and therefore
to NHG?

What if you can't see the signs?

Its much easier to rely on an announcer than it is to walk all the way down
to thw wrong end of the platform to read one sign then cross over the
platforms on the bridge to read the other on the opposite platform as there
is a district line train blocking the view from the other platform.......

Personally I'd suggest any of the stations on the bakerloo line between
queens park and stonebridge park. Ok , technically they're british rail
stations and the stations themselves are not too run down but the areas they
are in are Scumbag Central and I've felt unsafe at Harlesden in the day
(and I'm quite a large bloke) , god knows what it would be like for a woman
at night waiting at one of these hell holes.
