Hadlow Road train station is truly a hidden gem, and I couldn't be more thrilled to stumble upon it during my recent visit. The station itself exudes a charming vintage ambiance, taking you back in time to when railways were a vital part of daily life. But what truly made my visit memorable was the Friends of Hadlow Road Pop-up Cafe and their wonderful breakfast.
The Friends of Hadlow Road Pop-up Cafe is a delightful addition to this historic station. As soon as I entered, I was greeted with warm smiles and a welcoming atmosphere. The cafe itself is a charming spot, with a rustic decor that complements the station's nostalgic feel perfectly.
Now, let's talk about the breakfast – it was nothing short of spectacular! The menu offered a range of options, but I couldn't resist trying their bacon batch. It was a hearty and satisfying, cooked to perfection. From the crispy bacon to the perfectly buttery bap.
What sets this cafe apart, aside from the mouthwatering food, is the passion and dedication of the staff. They are not only skilled in the kitchen but also genuinely friendly and attentive to their customers' needs. Especially when you consider they are volunteers.
Whether you're a train enthusiast or simply looking for a cozy spot to enjoy a scrumptious breakfast, Hadlow Road train station and the Friends of Hadlow Road Pop-up Cafe are a must-visit. It's a unique experience that combines history, hospitality, and culinary excellence. I can't wait to return for another delightful breakfast at this charming...

While Harlow station used to be an active station on a track that used to be the Wirral way line. The buildings and platform are all that remain now. Even the metal of the track has been taken up. The ticket office is preserved as it would have been when the station was active and it is quite quaint to see. Inside the ticket office the Friends of Harlow station advertise a pop up cafe and other events every so often.
There are toilets on site but be warned that they are used by both men and women in the same room. There are no urinals and the whole toilets are kept pleasant, clean and smell fine.
For those hot days while walking on the Wirral way some ice cream or refreshments buy would be nice but there isn't the infrastructure for that at the moment.
There is an attached car park that is...
