Longcross station - entrance The facilities at and the service to Longcross have improved somewhat since the station was last Geographed in 2017. This reflects the fact that the adjacent former MoD site is now used by Longcross (film) Studios and that residential development has taken place at Upper Longcross nearby. Although there is still no direct road access the station, it is accessible along a made-up footpath. Despite the Tickets sign on the wall, the Permit to Travel machine was out of order.
