Story

Maida Vale is a London Underground station in Maida Vale in inner north-west London. The station is on the Bakerloo line, between Kilburn Park and Warwick Avenue stations, and is in Travelcard Zone 2.The station is 'Grade II' listed building being of architectural and historic interest. In 2009 the station won a National Railway Heritage Award, in the London Regional category, for the successful modernisation of a historic station.HistoryMaida Vale opened on 6 June 1915 on Bakerloo tube's extension from Paddington to Queen's Park 5 months after the extension. At the time, it was the first station to be entirely staffed by women. The women continued to work at the Maida Vale station until 1919 when servicemen returning from the war displaced them. The outbreak of World War II again opened up jobs for women. On 6 June 2015, the station celebrated its 100th anniversary as part of the 100 years of women in transport campaign.Location and layoutThe station is located at the junction of Randolph Avenue and Elgin Avenue and has a surface building designed by Underground Electric Railways Company of London's architect Stanley Heaps. He used a standardized design that appears in many station buildings under control of UERL whilst Maida Vale was provided with buildings in the style of the earlier Leslie Green stations but without the upper storey, which was no longer required for housing lift gear. It was one of the first London Underground stations built specifically to use escalators rather than lifts.

1st time i have used this station and the look of it is old and has its original signs. There is no disabled access to the ticket hall and platforms only stairs. The ticket hall area is dark not that strong lighting. But a nice underground station.
This underground station is small. It looks a bit old and is a bit dark and this does not give a great feeling. However, the service is very good with the Bakerloo line. The station is clean. The platforms are similar to most stations not very wide but good. I have never seen this station extremely busy like some other stations in London and this is good.
Accessibility at this station is nothing short of a joke. No lifts as well as more steps to get up to the exit once you've passed through the barriers. I'm at least grateful for what seems to be some sort of refurbishment down on the platforms. It does seem very bright and clear which is very nice indeed but ease of accessibility is a common problem with bakerloo line tube stations.
Over 100 years old this station includes most original fixtures, fittings and finishes preserved and maintained to a high standard. An early mosaic 'London Underground' legend on the period staircase and the familiar ox-blood glazed exterior tiles are noteworthy.
Good station and good location, updating needed Very much,Maida Vale is a London Underground station in Maida Vale in inner north-west London. The station is on the Bakerloo line, between Kilburn Park and Warwick Avenue stations, and is in Travelcard Zone 2.
Amazing tiles arrayed in pleasing ways. Aesthetically top notch. Would recommend to anyone who likes tiles.
I wish there was a lift* here. But the staff are patient with passengers and are well trained. Americans call It a Elevator
Nice quiet neighborhood with good restaurants and grocery stores. Mainly families
Because i visited two special churches ,the little Venice, very nice cafes and the paddigton park!!!
A station that's always manned and escalators function which is a good thing as there is no lift
