Surbiton station is architectually a great building but from a practical point of view it has one serious flaw:- no lift on the Glenbuck Road side.
This a proper pain in the butt for people like myself with a pram. It also logically ridiculous to have no lift on the car park side of the station. Surely it is this side of the station, which is most likely to have people with cases.
Looking at the building, it looks like there was once a lift but this was sealed when the restoration was done in 1998. Is this true ? Was there ever a lift ?
