Only been here twice but everything seems lovely and tidy and the centre of Harrogate is nicely set out and well looked after. Plenty of shops to look around and the train station is right in the middle so easy access. Lovely place to visit and time seems to fly looking around so give yourself plenty of time or even stay which would be even better. I cannot praise this place enough.
Lovely Victorian old spa town. Has a Betty's, if you want to queue forever I have never understood the attraction apart from saying you've been. Good for general shopping and boutiques. Great, subtle lighting at Christmas.
Free WiFi, toilets and a ticket office. There's an ATM and shop on site also as well as some parking out front. Easy to drop someone off or pick them up. Direct trains to London are every 2 hours and take around 3 hours. There's a waiting room on the platform too.
Harrogate is a lovely town to visit. A few unique independent shops and cafes plus the usual chains. The architecture is stunning and easy to get around the town centre
The Wi-Fi at Central Station is, in a word, abysmal. From the moment you connect, the experience is one of false promises and constant frustration. A bold splash screen proudly advertises free public Wi-Fi, suggesting a seamless connection with just a tap, but what follows is anything but functional. While your device might claim it’s connected, actual data transmission is sporadic to nonexistent—web pages hang indefinitely, emails fail to sync, and messaging apps time out. Running a speed test was an exercise in disappointment: download speeds hovered between 0.1 and 0.3 Mbps, upload speeds were often worse, and latency soared to nearly a full second. It’s a digital dead zone, barely capable of loading a simple Google search, much less supporting the essential apps travelers rely on. The inconsistency is maddening; in some areas, like the far corner of the food court, you might catch a brief, semi-usable signal, but it quickly drops off. On the boarding platforms or near entrances, the connection is practically non-existent. For tourists and travelers unfamiliar with the area, this becomes more than an inconvenience—it’s a genuine obstacle. I watched one traveler struggle to load their hotel directions and another try in vain to contact their ride. Business travelers attempting to download files or respond to emails were visibly exasperated. Asking the station staff didn’t help either; a weary customer service rep admitted this happens all the time and that nothing is being done to address it. It’s clear that this is not a one-off issue or a momentary glitch—it’s systemic neglect. In 2025, this level of connectivity failure in a major public transport hub is unacceptable. Other stations worldwide—from Tokyo to Amsterdam—offer robust, fast, and reliable internet. There's no excuse for a central station in a developed city to offer Wi-Fi that barely rivals a roadside motel from 2008. The solution isn’t complicated: invest in better infrastructure, implement usage caps or timed sessions to prevent congestion, and provide clear guidance on where connectivity is strongest. Even if perfect coverage isn’t possible immediately, transparency and small upgrades would make a difference. What we have now is an unreliable network masquerading as a useful amenity, failing both casual users and those who depend on internet access for navigation, communication, and work. Until this is addressed, I suggest relying on mobile data—assuming you have a decent signal, which is hit-or-miss in certain parts of the station as well. The Wi-Fi situation at Central Station is a glaring oversight in an otherwise functional transit system, and it’s high time the digital side of infrastructure caught up with the physical one.
