] On 20 November 1939, services on the Stanmore branch were transferred to the Bakerloo Line and, on 1 May 1979, they were transferred again to the Jubilee Line.

On rare occasions, Jubilee Line trains may terminate at Canons Park. This usually happens in the early evening when a train may be terminated to run into and out of Stanmore sidings to keep the tracks rust-free.
