Qype: Putney Station in London

London - Travel & Hotels - Stations

In my opinion the station could do with a renovation, as it looks pretty tatty in places. Then have actually started to repave some of the platforms so I hope this work will continue.

The entrance to the station causes bottlenecks, and you often have to queue just to go in and out of the barriers. The ticket machines frequently go out of services, causing the queues to be longer at the remaining machines.

My tip when there are long queues are at the ticket machines is to check inside the station - the new single ticket machine inside often has no queue at all, and the queues for the counter often move much more quickly than those outside. You can also sometimes buy tickets from the staff at the gate - so it's worth asking as this can save you some time.

Annoyingly you can't use pre-pay oyster at this station, but when it is introduced I expect that everyone's experience will be greatly improved.

There are snack and drink vending machines on platform 1, plus a small cafe on platforms 2 and 3.
