Birkbeck

– Birkbeck station has only one platform for Southern trains and Croydon tramlink, with trains and trams going in both directions. – There are no ticket barriers or staff at the station, making it quiet and basic. – The Southern Rail platform is only accessible by stairs, which is inconvenient for those with mobility issues or prams. However, the tram platform has an accessible ramp. – Maintenance of the train platform is minimal, and there is only one screen displaying arrivals/departures that can only be seen by walking along the platform from the entrance. – Sometimes, this screen shows train cancellations regularly due to it not being a priority line. – Therefore, finding an alternative route can be challenging as one has to walk back along the platform and down the stairs.
