Stonebridge Park is a Network Rail station served by Silverlink and London Underground Bakerloo Line train services. It is in the London Borough of Brent on the North Circular Road [1] near Argenta Way.

[edit] 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 2; 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. The line was opened by the London and North Western Railway on 15 June 1912 and was first used by Bakerloo Line trains on 16 April 1917. Between 24th September 1982 and 4 June 1984 it was the northern terminus of the Bakerloo Line.
