There are no Oyster machines at this station, although District line (occasionally) serves here. You can only top up or buy travelcards at the National Rail machines.
Overground trains are more likely to be on time, but Southern trains generally delayed. Please check before leaving.

This station has three platforms - two main overground/mainline platforms and a third for the random District line train that runs intermittently at weekends. The main platform on the Olympia side is usually the northbound. You can cross from one side of the main tracks to the other either before you pass through the barriers or after you pass through the barriers - the bridge is split in half, for people using the station and for people who aren't. Staff are not hugely helpful and can be short tempered. There's no indoor waiting room, just the open-sided shelters.

Rubbish station honestly. Limited number of ticket machines, no lifts to give easy step free access between platforms and it's rather inconvenient that the district line only runs on weekends. I'd gladly accept a 15 minute shuttle to/from High Street Kensington with it.

Also trains here are prone to delay, cancellations and overcrowding to a ridiculous degree. It's honestly shocking that TFL could look at these services and consider it acceptable. Avoid.

Went to film con was very disappointed with the organisers for over selling tickets had to queue for over an hour due to full capacity. Overall not bad but would think twice before booking again

This is the station for Olympia Exhibition Hall. Olympia station is on the Overground, main Railways and the underground -but the service on the underground to Earls Court and beyond has nearly no trains or no service - do check the service in advance if you are proceeding to Olympia. If you cannot use the Overground or main Railways to Olympia, then get the underground to High Street Kensington and get a 9, 23, 27 or 49 bus to Olympia. A walk of less than a mile. And grab a sandwich made while u wait at Franks, opp Olympia Hall and on the corner.
