Is it just me or is the platform lighting rather dim compared to other stations?

I couldn’t tell the difference myself, that type of tunnel roof lighting is used at numerous stations across the network. It could just be that the lighting elements themselves may have become dusty which would mute the lighting effect. It's surprising how much a thin layer of dirt like that can make a difference.

Think it’s just you. I travel through there daily and dont think it’s anything different.

They were certainly much more dingy prior to the current lighting being installed.

Hello Tom 73. Regarding your question on the ambience of Notting Hill Gate station, I agree with you; the ambience is partly influenced by the colour-scheme of the platform side wall tiles, and of course the type of lighting. At Notting Hill Gate station platform vaults the wall tiles are of a very dark colour, thus light from the flourescent strip-lighting is absorbed by the dark coloured wall tiles. Whereas in the example of Lancaster Gate station platform vaults, these have white tiles which act as reflectors this deflect back any light from the fluorescent strip lights mounted on the ceiling.

Some stations do seem noticeably dimmer than others, especially on the central and jub. Hopefully as LED lighting becomes universal, light fittings can be upgraded to provide a higher luminosity where necessary to counter darker decor.

I've never thought Notting Hill Gate's platforms looked particularly dim - however, one stop along at Holland Park, even after the recent revamp it still looks rather dark and dingy down there.
