Stonebridge Park station

Stonebridge Park is a Network Rail station served by London Overground and London Underground Bakerloo Line train services. The station is 11 km (7 miles) north west of London Euston on the Watford Line. It is in the London Borough of Brent on the North Circular Road [ Address according to Network Rail and Royal Mail (postcode NW10 0RL).] near Argenta Way.

History

The railway station was built by the London, Midland and Scottish Railway to replace another of the same name located further to the east which was destroyed by bombing in World War II; it has since suffered two major fires which resulted in the rebuilding of the Up side station buildings and later the partial demolition of the Down side building. In the last few years it has been renovated in its current form. Between 24th September 1982 and 4 June 1984 it was the northern terminus of the Bakerloo Line.

The line serving the station was opened by the London and North Western Railway as part of their "New Line" project on 15 June 1912 and was first used by Bakerloo Line trains on 16 April 1917. One of the generating stations supplying this network was located on the site of the current London Underground depot to the north west of the station. The carriage shed (now with no direct connection to the DC line) between Stonebridge Park station and Stonebridge Park LU depot was originally built to house some of the LNWR stock using the DC line.
