Here's one for you. What station does not have ticket barriers? There is only one.
Stratford High Street on the DLR
London Underground station only - with no ticket barriers. None of the above correct.
Unless you have personally been to every tube station and verified this how are we meant to believe you over any other source on the Internet?
I have. I am part of the Ticket Office closure program. Part of the closures mean that a viewing window needs to be provided over the ticket gates, except for this station as it has no barriers.
Whitechapel is about the only station where to get from the underground to the overground, you go down stairs.
In reality, quite a bit of the 'underground' network is above ground (especially bits at the north end of the northern line/ east and west end of the central line, which were taken over from main line railway companies shortly before / after WW2, and the outer ends of the metropolitan and district lines)
What's rarer (there are only two) is stations where you can go up an escalator from street level to platform level at an underground station...
bugger, in that case my answer is wrong. I knew it was either ruislip manor or greenford and plumped for the wrong one. ruislip manor must just be stairs up to the platform. Stratford's definitely right though
