The station is served by Thameslink-operated trains on the Thameslink route. It is on the boundary of Travelcard Zone 3 and Zone 4.

It was built by the Midland Railway in 1868 on its extension to St. Pancras. From 1875 the Midland opened a service to Victoria on the London, Chatham and Dover Railway line and received coaches from the London and South Western Railway for attachment to northbound trains.[3]

Location

The station is on Station Road in West Hendon, next to the M1 motorway.

Development

From March 2009, Southeastern and Thameslink began running some peak hour trains from Sevenoaks to Luton,[5] though in the off-peak these services turn back at Kentish Town.

In 2017 the London Assembly and Transport for London published a plan to extend the London Overground network to Hendon.[6] The scheme, known as the West London Orbital envisages re-opening the Dudding Hill freight line to passenger services and running trains from West Hampstead Thameslink and Hendon to Hounslow via the planned Old Oak Common Lane station. The plans are currently at public consultation stage with TfL.[7]

Connections

London Buses routes 83, 183 and school routes 653 and 683 and night route N5 serve the station.^{[citation needed]}
