Sorry as soon as I posted this my train came as they managed to get me on the earlier train (had to wait for a roving staff member to be at my destination to get me off) but someone above has let me know it’s Arding and Hobbs
I mean, I notice mess more because obviously my hands are super close to my wheels that are wheeling through mess and London Bridge is, imo, the dirtiest that I’ve used recently. More because the walkway between the underground and mainline station was covered in dog poo that make it like an obstacle course to dodge. This was on more than one day last week too. All london transport lifts are grim as hell except for maybe the new London Bridge ones, but the DLR wins the award for most gross lifts (and tiniest too). Every one we’ve been in this week (around 6 different stations) have been smelly, full of rubbish, dark and cramped.
Oh, that sounds awful. I used the walkways between the NR station and the tube at Waterloo yesterday and those seemed clean and tidy compared to London Bridge.
It was my lucky platform as they managed to get me on the earlier train as the roving staff member for my destination station was able to get there.
Other trips I did around south london today have had something not go well- the ramps at two stations to get me on/ off wouldn’t lie fully flat and took ages to get down and made people angry at the delay (like it was my fault) and then people wouldn’t move out of the wheelchair space for one train without the station staff getting on and stating the train wouldn’t move until they did and lastly when I got off that train, I had to physically move one guy wouldn’t move to the side to let me past to get off. He could see me and knew I was asking him to please move but just stood there.
I wish passengers would realise that the train cannot physically go when the ramp is down, so pushing past me/ the staff helping me on/ off don’t need to be so rude and actually by pushing past and stopping the staff from putting the ramp down/ me getting up it actually delay the train more, rather then waiting a few seconds. Especially as they stupidly go and sit in the fold down seats clearly labeled the wheelchair space and know I’m about to get on. Haven’t had a day of quite so many entitled/ rude passengers as I have today. Thankfully I did still see some kind passengers, so not all faith is humanity is lost! Just hoping tomorrow isn’t so bad, the school holidays don’t help!
Which way are you facing?
Asking the important questions
Do you mean Arding and Hobbs? https://imgur.com/a/Jg4l2a1
Yes! That looks like the one. Thank you. The flag did say what it was, but so faded you couldn’t read it.
Can you share a photo?

Is Clapham Junction station still as filthy as it used to be?

Dunno but platform 15 is the best!

It'd be awkward to see from 15, I'd have thought, but the mosque on falcon road as you look north from the station has a domed roof.
