    The coffee inside the station sucks, so come out of the front and head to the right... 40 paces and you'll find Taylor Street Baristas - amazing and real espresso coffee and cakes.

    Delighted than they have taken the effort to frame and keep the vintage posters. Several on the stairs down to platform 1! Well done Richmond staff!

    You can now top up Oyster on the self-service ticket machines so no need to queue at a window!

    It is a really good station. There is over ground and underground and if you fall asleep, it is the last station so you won’t be missing it

    This bridge carries the South West Trains Windsor Line between Richmond and St. Margarets. Great views, a bit too brief though.

    When leaving on the District Line in the morning rush hour(s) the first train to go is always the one most full, which is often not the one on the tannoy announcements or display board.

    It's worth walking across the road outside the station to the Starbucks opposite. New design store and great coffee, even for the fussy ones among us.

    If you have a moment take a look at the vintage posters while they still exist. They're along the route from the ticket hall to Platform 1.

    If using oyster here its a good place to tap out if you need the shops en-route.

    If you're waiting at the bus stop outside and feel like coffee go back downstairs to Cornish Pasty place, cheapest coffee around.

    The vintage posters are still there. Very cool in an 80's British Rail way :o)

    Only use the M&S for convenience foods - they don't sell things like flour etc. Great almond croissants though!

    Do not tap out on a pink Oyster card validator. It does not act as a signal to end your journey. You have to use the yellow pads at the exit. A bit of a scam.

    You can check out the memorial uncomfortably shoved in at the back - before it goes to Hoxton Station later this year

    Never trust the platform departure signs for the Overland train. They almost never show the real departure time.

    There is NO oyster card top up machine at the station. So if u want to avoid waiting for hours to get ur card topped up at the cashier, i suggest you plan a bit earlier than usual :-)

    You have to queue at the ticket office to top up your oyster so it's worth visiting the newsagent instead beforehand

    Lack of Oyster top up means guaranteed wait at windows - make sure you leave a good 5+ mins to queue!
