21st Nov 1981 | An accident when one of the escalators stopped while carrying passengers resulted in a number of injuries and one fatality, Kevin Goulder. The station was also busy due to a local football match. |
Circa Sep 1972 | Reported in Sept 1972, that an experimental two-way barrier had been installed. Passengers presented their ticket to staff, who then open the ticket barrier with a foot pedal. |
8th Nov 1970 | A trial started where ticket barriers were left open to speed up passenger flow, only closing if someone tried to walk through without inserting a ticket. As that's not the usual practice today, it can be presumed the trial was not a success. |
1st Dec 1968 | A joint British Rail-London Underground entrance and ticket hall opened on this day. The original B.R. entrance in West Green Road closed on the same day. |
