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.

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!


I don't think St Johns is really all that neglected. It's just that
it's a branch line station that happens to be on the main line.
Anyone who gets the same train every day which doesn't stop there says
"nothing stops at St Johns", but they don't say "nothing stops at
Crayford" if their regular train happens to go via Bexleyheath,
because they don't see Crayford.

Emerson Park, on the Romford-Upminster push-pull, gets about the same
service.

any suggestions? somewhere on a little-used oddity of a branchline or
even a disused station that can still be accessed, I need tracks and
platform not too overgrown.

PS, I'm aware of the permissions system for photoshoots in such places
so no worries from that angle.

I'd suggest the least-served stations in London, Sudbury & Harrow Road
and/or Sudbury Hill Harrow. Both have no evening or weekend train
service (and precious few trains during a weekday), and are completely
unstaffed, so there should be no one around to bother you. AFAIK
there's no physical way for the stations to be locked, so you should
have no trouble gaining access. S&HR is high up on a viaduct with no
buildings, so you should get good light. SHH is in a cutting and a
little more secluded.

You could also try South Greenford or Castle Bar Park, which have no
evening or Sunday service, though off the top of my head I don't know
whether they might be locked.

By the way, if you use any of the suggestions from the group, posting
links to some of the pics would be appreciated

One station I know which has very little use, day or night is Bayford.
Hopefully not to far out for you either.

thats a distinct possibility actually as it's only 35 minutes from
high&is
do you happen to know if all the lights work on the platforms?

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.

I am afraid that I have not been through there for a few weeks, but
they were working.
