railway station that have a mix of Network Rail, and London Underground ?
The clear answer: yes — several stations in London are shared by both Network Rail and the London Underground. These are places where National Rail trains (run by TOCs on Network Rail infrastructure) and Tube trains (run by TfL) both stop at the same station complex.
Below is a structured list of the major mixed‑operation stations, with Guided Links so you can explore any one you want next.
🚉 Major stations served by BOTH Network Rail and London Underground
King’s Cross — Served by LNER, Great Northern, Thameslink (adjacent), plus six Underground lines.
St Pancras International — Thameslink, EMR, Southeastern High Speed, Eurostar + Underground.
Euston — Avanti West Coast, London Northwestern + Victoria & Northern lines.
Paddington — GWR, Heathrow Express, Elizabeth line + Bakerloo, Circle, District.
Liverpool Street — Greater Anglia, c2c (via interchange), Elizabeth line + Central, Circle, H&C, Metropolitan.
Victoria — Southern, Southeastern + Victoria, District, Circle lines.
London Bridge — Southern, Thameslink + Jubilee & Northern lines.
Waterloo — South Western Railway + Bakerloo, Jubilee, Northern, Waterloo & City.
Charing Cross — Southeastern + Bakerloo & Northern lines.
Cannon Street — Southeastern + District & Circle lines.
Blackfriars — Thameslink + District & Circle lines.
Fenchurch Street — c2c + close interchange to Tower Hill (District/Circle).
Moorgate — Great Northern + Northern, Circle, H&C, Metropolitan lines.
Wimbledon — South Western Railway + District line + Tramlink.
Richmond — South Western Railway + District line + London Overground.
Barking — c2c + District & Hammersmith & City lines.
🧭 Why these stations qualify
A station counts as “mixed Network Rail + Underground” when:
National Rail trains use platforms owned/managed by Network Rail or TOCs
London Underground trains serve the same station complex
Passengers can interchange within the same station (not just a nearby walk)
This is confirmed by the London station listings and Network Rail’s own station management information.

I can give you:
Stations outside Zone 1 with both systems
Stations where Underground manages the station but National Rail also serves it
Stations with Elizabeth line + Tube + National Rail

The stations where London Underground is the station manager but National Rail trains also serve the station are actually very rare — only a small handful qualify. Based on the search results and TfL/Network Rail station‑management data, the list is short and very clear.
🚉 Stations managed by London Underground and served by National Rail
These are the stations where TfL (London Underground) is the official station manager, yet National Rail trains call at the same platforms or within the same station complex.
1. Wimbledon
Manager: London Underground
National Rail operator: South Western Railway
Other modes: Tramlink
Why it qualifies: The District line terminates here, but the station is not managed by Network Rail — it is a TfL‑managed LU station with full National Rail service.
2. Richmond
Manager: London Underground
National Rail operator: South Western Railway
Other modes: London Overground
Why it qualifies: Like Wimbledon, Richmond is a District line terminus where LU is the station manager, even though National Rail trains run through.
3. Kensington (Olympia)
Manager: London Underground
National Rail operator: London Overground (part of National Rail)
Why it qualifies: Although District line service is limited, LU is still the station manager, and Overground (National Rail) operates the mainline platforms.
🧭 Why the list is so short
Most mixed Tube/National Rail stations in London — such as Victoria, Paddington, Euston, Liverpool Street, King’s Cross, St Pancras, London Bridge, Waterloo — are managed by Network Rail, not the Underground. Only a few suburban interchanges (Wimbledon, Richmond, Kensington Olympia) are LU‑managed despite having National Rail services.

The stations where Network Rail is the official station manager and London Underground trains also serve the station are almost all of London’s major terminals. This is confirmed by Network Rail’s list of managed stations and the London station group information Wikipedia. London station group - Wikipedia.
Here is the complete, structured list.
🚉 Stations managed by Network Rail AND served by the Underground
London Bridge — Jubilee & Northern lines + National Rail (Southern, Thameslink).
London Cannon Street — District & Circle lines + Southeastern.
London Charing Cross — Bakerloo & Northern lines + Southeastern.
London Euston — Victoria & Northern lines + Avanti West Coast, London Northwestern.
London King’s Cross — Six Underground lines + LNER, Great Northern.
London Liverpool Street — Central, Circle, H&C, Metropolitan + Greater Anglia.
London Paddington — Bakerloo, Circle, District + GWR, Heathrow Express.
London Victoria — Victoria, District, Circle + Southern, Southeastern.
London Waterloo — Bakerloo, Jubilee, Northern, Waterloo & City + South Western Railway.
St Pancras International — Victoria, Northern, Piccadilly, Circle, H&C, Metropolitan + Thameslink, EMR, Southeastern High Speed. (Managed by HS1 Ltd, but still part of the Network Rail London group structure for operational coordination.)
Clapham Junction — Served by London Overground (part of National Rail) + close interchange to Underground at nearby stations. (No direct Tube platforms, but included in Network Rail’s managed list.)
These stations appear in Network Rail’s official list of managed stations and its London management structure Network Rail Media Centre. London and London stations.
🧭 Why these stations qualify
A station counts as “Network Rail managed + Underground served” when:
Network Rail is the station manager (responsible for the building, concourse, platforms).
London Underground trains stop at platforms within the same station complex.
Interchange is internal, not a separate walk to another station.
This is exactly how London’s major terminals operate: Network Rail manages the heavy‑rail side, and TfL runs the Tube lines that interconnect inside the same station.

Only Zone 1 terminals
Stations with Elizabeth line + Tube + National Rail
Stations where Overground + Tube + National Rail all meet

Stratford is a really interesting case, Michael — because it looks like a classic “Network Rail + Underground” station, but the management situation is more complicated than the big London terminals.
Here’s the clear, correct breakdown.
🚉 Who actually manages Stratford station?
Stratford is not managed by Network Rail.
It is officially managed by Transport for London (TfL) — specifically under the London Underground / TfL Rail station management structure, even though:
It has Central line
It has Jubilee line
It has DLR
It has London Overground
It has Elizabeth line
It has Greater Anglia (National Rail)
It has c2c (occasionally)
It has High‑frequency interchange with buses and Stratford International
But despite all that heavy National Rail presence, Stratford is not a Network Rail‑managed station.
🧭 Why Stratford is NOT Network Rail‑managed
Network Rail only manages a small number of major stations (the big London terminals plus a few regionals). Most suburban National Rail stations — even very busy ones — are managed by the train operating company or TfL.
At Stratford:
The National Rail platforms are operated by Greater Anglia
The station complex is managed by TfL
The Underground is part of the same management structure
Network Rail only owns the infrastructure (tracks, signalling), not the station itself
So Stratford does not fall into the category you asked about earlier (“Network Rail managed + Underground served”).
📌 So where does Stratford fit?
Stratford belongs to this category:
Stations managed by TfL (Underground/Overground) but served by National Rail
This group includes:
Wimbledon
Richmond
Kensington (Olympia)
Stratford ← yes, it fits here
Shepherd’s Bush (TfL‑managed, Overground + Southern)
Harrow & Wealdstone (TfL‑managed, Bakerloo + London Northwestern)
Gunnersbury (TfL‑managed, District + Overground)
Kew Gardens (TfL‑managed, District + Overground)
Stratford is one of the largest and busiest stations in this category.
