We have waited so long. This is a great new development. Perfect for people visiting Harrow for shopping. Nice for those en route to and from Northwick Park hospital. For tourists hoping to visit Harrow on the Hill school, outside, or inside on a tour.

The bus station beside the train station has numerous bus routes, including South Harrow station, Hatch End station, Northwick Park Hospital and many more.

In addition to helping those who want to avoid stairs, or carry suitcases, sometimes the lifts up and down can speed you so that you catch a train which would otherwise depart whilst you negotiate the stairs.

You will also find lifts at Pinner.

What I realized today about the lifts and their cost, is that you cannot just install one lift. You need two, maybe three, depending on the number of platforms.
