The London Underground station where the platforms were built too high for the trains

The London Underground, despite its size, operates impressively well.

Sure, we all have a moan about the stuffy air on the Northern line, the sweltering heat on the Central line, and the ear-piercing screech of the Victoria line, but let's face it, we'd grumble a lot more without it.

However, there are bound to be a few blunders here and there. For instance, Shepherd's Bush Market is mistakenly labelled as Shepherd's Bush, even though Shepherd's Bush station exists separately.

Another mishap can be found up in Wembley, on the Bakerloo line, where the platforms are too high for the 70s trains.

If you've recently travelled on the Bakerloo line, you'll probably remember that it appears much more dated than the other lines - and that's because it is. The trains are expected to undergo a makeover before the decade ends, but that's still some time away.

This brings us to South Kenton, an island platform station nestled between Kenton and North Wembley stations.

Its platforms are too high for the Bakerloo trains, causing commuters to step down when getting on and step up when getting off.

It's also one of the rare Tube stops without ticket barriers, and there are no plans to install any as it wouldn't suit the character of the building.
