There's something about King’s Circle. The Harbour Line station which was perpetually dirty and scary for women to travel from at nights, has been sporting a new look for the past two months.

The street lights on the road leading to the station are working, there are dustbins on the platforms, the walls are painted and the platforms are much cleaner. “King’s Circle was always a shady station. I would prefer taking a bus to my house near Five Gardens to avoid getting off at King’s Circle. I work at Cotton Green and so train is the best option, but I hated the station. Now there is a tremendous change in the look and feel of the station, which is a big relief,” says media professional, Neha Verma.
