that could be ideal, fast trains passing are no problem and could
actually be a bonus. Photos would be cool, email is markvarley at

Or if you don't mind going a bit further out, go to Bletchley on a
Sunday and walk over to Fenny Stratford, which has no Sunday service
and therefore will be deserted. Bedford St John's would also work,
though it's an utter dive in comparison.

Looking at the station useage figures (05-06), for inner London
stations, you could try any of the following - least used first -
depending on where you are and how brave you feel:

SILVERTOWN&LONDON CI
WOODGRANGE PARK
WANSTEAD PARK
HARRINGAY GREEN LANE
SOUTH TOTTENHAM
CAMBRIDGE HEATH
CROUCH HILL
SOUTH HAMPSTEAD
UPPER HOLLOWAY
LONDON FIELDS
CANNING TOWN
KILBURN HIGH ROAD
CUSTOM HOUSE LONDON
NORTHUMBERLAND PARK
WANDSWORTH ROAD LOND
HACKNEY WICK
STAMFORD HILL
CLAPHAM HIGH STREET
ESSEX ROAD
DRAYTON PARK

I wouldn't head to the National Rail platforms at Canning Town, Custom
House or Silvertown if I were you... the line between Stratford and
North Woolwich closed at the end of 2006.

All inaccessible at the mo - though I guess you could climb over the
walls at Silvertown and even North Woolwich.

The last time I went past work hadn't got under way but the line at
Canning Town is to be converted to a new branch of the DLR, so that'll
be noisy.

And the line through Silvertown will become part of Crossrail - and
the Crossrail works depot will be very near the North Woolwich
platforms - so when that gets under way things will be a little less
tranquil!

Easy enough to get onto Silvertown platforms. I work next door to it.

I don't trust station usage figures for a moment, because they are
used to claim that stations at which one can't buy tickets and no one
is there to count the users of can be closed due to lack of demand.

My answer to the original question would have been "all railway
stations in London are popular and vibrant and should not be closed".

However, assuming that it counts as inner (should if some of those do)
I am pleased to see that the much-maligned St Johns isn't in the list.

Ah, the number of trains I've been on recently where the PIS proudly
displays "Calling at all stations via Lewisham EXCEPT St Johns", as if
its neglect is something to be proud of... :-P

Ravensbourne can't be far off that list, either.

Brookman's Park used to have that accolade on Cambridge-King's Cross
slows. This was before Welham Green opened.

St Johns would have been at No 34, Ravensbourne is counted as Outer
London, but would have come in at 32! So well done St. Johns,
everyone's favourite station! But if you want to talk about neglected
stations, then you should be looking at Grove Park, along with
Elmstead Woods, Chislehurst and the Bromley North branch. Half hourly
off peak service - pathetic!
