Default quiet stations

Stratford has 2 or 3 platforms which are, AFAIAA, still open but have
lost all their regular timetabled trains. I'd expect they'll be pretty
quiet. Semi-derelict buildings etc. Can't remember the numbers but
they're the furthest ones across from the main entrance (ie opposite
side of the GE mainline from the Central line/DLR platforms).

They're not quiet any more - there are new platforms for the North
London Line being constructed alongside them. In addition some of the
really derelict buildings have just been knocked down. Plus there is
an hourly service that uses one of the platforms. Possibly worth a
look nonetheless.
