The state of Turnham Green Station

While the platforms are reasonably well-kept, the rest of the station needs a thorough clean-up. The stairs are filthy and need jet-washing, and the ticket hall is in desperate need of a paint job. It must be thoroughly depressing for the staff to work in those conditions.

Don't know, but a quick google found this:https://www.richmondandtwickenhamtimes.co.uk/news/17924524.kew-society-awarded-money-council-explore-easy-access-options-kew-gardens-station/Isn't this the sort of thing that should happen in all areas for many things from accessibility to beautification?  A way for locals to take pride in the local area - as long as they can of course agree...

Who pays to keep Kew Gardens station looking so beautiful?

We could be glass half full on this and believe that the relative neglect of the station is due to it being under consideration for step free access. TfL announced last year that a feasibility study would be undertaken and it would be pointless tarting it up if major internal changes were in the offing.

Sounds like the warning should be revised to 'mind the sap'!

Best not go to Gunnersbury station then as plants are growing in the gap on the Richmond bound side of the platform. As you board the train you have to avoid them bringing a new meaning to ''Mind the gap'' I'd suggest.
