Ellie StringerJuly 1, 2012The birthplace of modern chinese cooking- many an asian chef has expressed their love of wok-ing here. If you present a wok whilst buying a ticket, you instantly receive some egg fried rice.
If they announce a change of platform, don't follow the herd stampeding towards the stairs; it is usually as quick (and certainly easier) to use the lifts at the other end of the platform.- By far the best place to get coffee. Amazingly fast, friendly service and great coffee too. Brightens up the mornings (between platforms 2 and 4)
This station has two entrances to it. Station Approach entrance on platform 1 (for town centre), Oriental Rd entrance on platform 5/6. Nearby parking available on Oriental Road side only.
Frequent and fast trains into London but costs a fortune and you'll have to stand all the way. Worse at peak times (and double the cost). Makes you wonder why people drive in the UK.
If you're parking in the oriental road car park, bring a credit card cause you can't pay by cash!
If you want to get cash from the ATM and not to be charged - go across to platform 1 (or under the subway) and opposite the train station on this side is a Natwest with 2 free to use ATM machines.
Ann-Cathrin WillJuly 2, 2013Bought a ginsters salad from the pumpkin on platform 2/3 that smelled of nail varnish, might not be their fault but just in case I haven't had either again.
The New Starbucks needs avoiding; still SSP run, still the same staff on rotation; but charge more for less range and don't take the Bite Card.- 'Do be sure to use the 3 extra ticket machines which are found in an alcove to the left of the town entrance.'
Welcome to woking (woe-king): Surrey's premiere concrete monstrosity . You don't know what routine means until you have commuted from here. If you're stuck in a rut, pray that it's not here!
GrouchDecember 18, 2009Stop just inside the doorway to gawp at the timetable. Bonus points for swinging your bike around and knocking over a pensioner. Remember - you are more important than anyone else getting on the train
The staff a very helpful especially when it comes to assisting disabled passengers to board and disembark trains
Weekday mornings, stand on plat 5 to watch people squeezing onto the Waterloo trains on 1 and 2, then praise the lord that you do not work in London (unless you do of course, sorry)
Kevin SpectorSeptember 27, 2011The coffee stop on platform 1 has the best value and friendliest service.
15% student discount at The Flying Coffee Bean, between platforms 2 and 4. Nice.
Monday morning queues still much faster at ticket office than at machines!- The Starbucks on platform 5 allows you to pay with a mobile app or Starbucks card but as of yet you can't redeem rewards here
Bacon bap at platform 1 kiosk is Yummy. Propper fresh hot Bacon
The 17:25 train to Portsmouth Harbour on platform 5 is a nightmare. Never had a seat on this journey.
Daniel BorgMarch 17, 2018Seems ok. So far found delays many times and counter seemed to be closed on the times I visited.
Tim Skelton-SmithDecember 8, 2011Americans: this is pronounced 'Woah-king' & has little to do with stir fry.
The kiosk on platform 1 is considerably cheaper than the usual railway rip off prices from the cafés on platform 2 and 5.
They've fixed the overpass and opened the 2nd staircase!- If you want to avoid the £1.84 fee at the ATM, M&S Food outside platform 5 offer cashback if you spend £5 or more.
- Guy PowellSeptember 13, 2010Just had a business meeting. It is so easy to get around in Europe by train.
If you don't like rap music don't bother sitting inside the cafe on platform 3/4!
Be prepared to have to push your way into the station against the flow of people leaving
Gavin BoswellNovember 7, 2012Do not accidentally stare at the bloke with a tattoo on his neck...he's grumpy
Buy a ticket to Woking if u coming to Woking Oyster cards don't work here
