[edit] History

The station was first opened by the London and North Western Railway on 15 June 1912 as part of the "New Line" between Euston and Watford Junction; LER Bakerloo Line services began on 16 April 1917. It was built to the same general design as the other new stations on the same line and the layout at North Wembley station makes it almost identical to Kenton two stops to the north with occasional confusion caused to passengers who fail to check the name signs.

[edit] Future

The station will be managed by London Underground from November 2007. It will remain the property of Network Rail. ^[1] Passenger services currently operated by Silverlink will become part of London Overground.
