Mill Hill Broadway Station

Dislike this station quite a bit.
During the commute is one thing you get your normal argy-​bargy of commuters that will thrown their granny in front of a train to get on board, that’s a given.
The oyster touch outs are not always working or obvious so you can be stood there wondering if it is working or not.
Under where the buses go through /​you take your life in your own hands to be fair. The drivers have no concept of people around them and drive around the «loop» oblivious.
There is a taxi rank there which is helpful but you do normally end up waiting quite a while for one to appear, you’re better off ordering one two stops ahead ready for your arrival.
Hate this place after dark, really don’t feel safe at all, not one little bit.

Dark and dreary, the car park belies the actual appearance and functionality of the station within. Bypass the bus stops and angry commuters, climb the stairs (Mill Hill station has not yet become fully accessible, unfortunately), and find yourself in a small but sufficient little Thameslink station.
They have moved the ticket office to the ground floor (next to the minicab office), which now means the rush to board the trains is separate from the lengthy ticket line every morning. There are multiple Oyster pads at each platform (Mill Hill has three), and there is a ‘proper’ car park on the other side of the Broadway, on the road that becomes Bunns Lane — very handy for commuters.
I adore the man who runs the snack shop/​newsagents on Platform 1 — after I began purchasing my weekly Grazia here, he began to save one just for me each Tuesday.
This isn’t a glitzy station like Euston or St. Pancras. It’s not a Tube station either, so don’t expect the same amount of sheen to the décor. It’s comparable to Enfield Chase, and much safer than Hendon’s overground. At Zone 4, it has sufficient trains running through to King’s Cross and Blackfriars. If they could just provide a little more lighting at the bus station in front, this would be a station Mill Hill could be really proud of.
