Perfectly acceptable place to stop, although not exactly a venue to spend hours. Drinks have always been good, food is nice. Probably the best station pub I've even been in.

Thats odd, I've never heard it called that and I've been drinking there for ten years

Ahhh - the Thug and Slapper as it's affectionately known locally...!!!

It's ok.

I enjoyed having a drink in here sitting by the huge glass windows that back onto the platform and watching the people waiting for a train look longingly at my pint.

The music was at a nice level and there was a television showing Sky on the wall. There is plenty of covered seating outside the front of the pub where you can sit and watch the cash burds and company directors bustle past.

The barmaid was a little offish as she was having a heated debate with the other barmaid in some distant tongue, which was a shame as I am quite nosy.

Drinks on offer were the usual suspects plus Broadside, Lancaster Bomber and Hobgoblin.

I’ve been to a lot worse station pubs than this one, but if I lived local I probably wouldn’t drink here as there are better offerings in the area.

OK sort of place, with reasonably kept and priced ale and food which was alright. I guess the problem is that it just can't loose the feel of being a station bar. It has little charm or feel of making you want to stay rather than get on the next District line train, though the conservatory bit is quite a handsome building.
