Hyde Park Corner — Local services in London

The station is dirty. The trains come with a long time gap and full with no possibility to get in. There is no way to use Apple Pay to top up the oyster as the machines only receive physical card and cash (in the 21st century they cannot add contactless in the tube which is madness). If you top up plaster online - you have to wait 30 mins. There is a news shop in the station, but it does not top up oysters there as in the other stations and has an unfriendly seller.

My hands are always black after using the escalators, as if nobody ever cleans them. This service makes me hate...
