From my London

Quote
'I went to the 'worst' railway station in the country just outside London and it's difficult just getting in'

I went to the only station to get the lowest possible rating on Google, just five miles outside the capital

After visiting the highest and lowest-rated stations in London according to the reviewers on ever prolific Google Maps and Reviews, you won't be entirely surprised to read that I decided to go in search of the worst-rated station in the entire country.

You will be surprised that it's a rather quaint, low-profile station in a village just five and a half miles beyond the Greater London boundary. It has a decent train service of four trains per hour into Central London and trains run right through until 1am, meaning you're unlikely to ever get stuck there.

I visited a number of local stations in my own area via Google having read the article, and I rather suspect that the rating comes more from how much people cherish and appreciate their station than the facilities or level of service

On a score of 1 to 5:
Dean - 5.0
Millbrook - 4.7
Melksham - 4.3
Dilton Marsh - 4.2
Chippenham - 4.0
Trowbridge - 3.9
Westbury - 3.9
Salisbury - 3.8
Southampton Central - 3.9
Swindon - 3.7
Mottisfont - 3.7
Redbridge - 3.7
Romsey - 3.4
Warminster - 3.1
