Station History

Baker Street Station was constructed as part of the World’s first Underground railway between Paddington and Farringdon by the Metropolitan Railway in 1860, opening three years later on 10th January 1863.

Five years later, the Metropolitan & St John’s Wood Railway opened a line constructed in tunnels from Baker Street to Swiss Cottage, with the Metropolitan Railway providing all services.

Following extensions in the late 1870s and early 1880s the M&SJWR duplicated their existing tunnel from the station before being absorbed into the Metropolitan Railway.

November 1891 saw the presentation of a bill to Parliament for the construction of the Baker Street and Waterloo Railway. The new line would run from Marylebone to Elephant and Castle and the bill was approved in 1900.

Construction commenced in August 1900 and the line saw its first trains in 1905, albeit only for test purposes, with the official opening between Waterloo and Lambeth North occurring on 10th March 1906.

Baker Street served as the temporary terminus for this line until 27th March 1907, when the rest of the line to Marylebone was opened.

In 1914, the Leslie Green-designed BS&WR station building was supplemented by a new concourse constructed under the Metropolitan Railway, allowing direct connections via escalators instead of the original lifts supplied at opening.

With the formation of the London Passenger Transport Board in 1933, the Metropolitan Railway and Baker Streeet & Waterloo Railway were amalgamated with other Underground Railway companies to form London Underground, with the lines becoming the Metropolitan and Bakerloo respectively.

Due to a bottleneck at Finchley Road created by the reduction of four tracks to two, the LPTB decided to extend the Bakerloo Line north from Baker Street as a branch line, taking over the existing Metropolitan Line stopping service from Finchley Road to Stanmore. Construction began in April 1936 and a new ticket hall adjacent to the existing facility was provided at the station before the new branch commenced service on 20th November 1939.

In the late 1960s, a proposal was made for the Bakerloo line branch to Stanmore to be included in a new line extending from Baker Street via Bond Street, Trafalgar Square and Cannon Street before heading to South London. The new ‘Fleet Line’ was approved as far as a new terminus at Charing Cross and construction commenced in early 1970.

A new northbound platform was constructed as part of the line at Baker Street and the now Jubilee Line opened along its entirety on 1st May 1979.

The station building, its sub-surface platforms and front retaining wall were granted Grade II Listed Status on 26th March 1987.

Station History

Although the London & Birmingham Railway opened a line through the area on 20 July 1837, it was not until 1842 that a station named Sudbury was provided here, being renamed to Sudbury & Wembley on 1 May 1882.

With the construction of the London & North Western Railway‘s ‘New Line’ from London Euston to Watford Junction beginning construction, the track layout through the station was remodelled, and the station renamed Wembley for Sudbury on 1 November 1910 in preparation for the new service.

With the commencement of the ‘New Line’ services in 1912, services through the station were further enhanced on 16 April 1917 when London Underground’s Bakerloo Line started serving the station on its new extension to Watford Junction.

With grouping of the Railways in 1923, The London & North Western Railway was amalgamated with other companies to form the London, Midland & Scottish Railway.

Redevelopment of the local area saw the original station buildings being demolished and replaced by a new structure incorporated into a shopping precinct in 1936.

Nationalisation of the ‘Big Four’ railways came into effect on 1st January 1948, with the London, Midland & Scottish becoming part of British Railways (Midland Region). This change of management was followed by further work to increase capacity through the station in preparation for the 1948 Olympic Games including renaming the station to Wembley Central on 5th July.

Further redevelopment of the station and its surroundings began in 1963 when a new concrete deck was constructed at street level and the station building was again rebuilt, with the new shopping area opening as Station Square in 1965.

London Underground withdrew their Bakerloo Line services between Stonebridge Park and Watford Junction on 24 September 1982, although they were reinstated as far as Harrow & Wealdstone on 4 June 1984.

A further change of management occurred in 1982 when British Rail underwent sectorisation and the line was included in the London & Southeast business unit, later rebranding as Network Southeast in 1986.

With the UK Government passing the Railways Act 1993, the business units were progressively sold off to private companies. This process led to the Watford DC Lines being taken over by National Express under their Silverlink Trains subsidiary on 3 March 1997.

The new franchise was scheduled to last until 15 October 2006, however, in August of that year, the Department of Transport extended the franchise until 10 November 2007.

On this date, the final (so far) change of management occurred when Transport for London assumed control with train services operating under their London Overground business, while management of the station was assumed by London Underground.

Redevelopment of the surrounding area saw the station buildings demolished again in June 2008, with a temporary building being opened during the works, and a new station entrance and ticket hall being officially opened on 25 March 2015.

Station History

Following the construction of the London and North Western Railway‘s ‘New Line’ from London Euston to Watford Junction, a station was constructed here and was due to be named East Lane, although from opening in June 1912, it was titled North Wembley.

Services through the station were enhanced with the arrival of London Underground’s Bakerloo Line extension from Stonebridge Park to Watford Junction on 16th April 1917.

With the passing of the Railways Act 1921, the London & Northwestern Railway was amalgamated with other companies to form the London, Midland, and Scottish Railway in 1923.

Another Act of Parliament in 1947 saw the ‘Big Four’ railway companies in the UK become nationalised on 1st January 1948, with the LMS becoming British Railways (Midland Region).

Services on London Underground’s Bakerloo Line were cut back from Watford Junction to Stonebridge Park on 24th September 1982, although this situation was reversed just under two years later, when the service was reinstated as far as Harrow & Wealdstone on 4th June 1984.

A further change of management occurred in 1982 when British Rail underwent sectorisation and the line was included in the London & Southeast business unit, later rebranding as Network Southeast in 1986.

With the UK Government passing the Railways Act 1993, the business units were progressively sold off to private companies. This process led to the Watford DC Lines being taken over by National Express under their Silverlink Trains subsidiary on 3 March 1997.

Station History

The London and North Western Railway‘s ‘New Line’ from London Euston to Watford Junction was opened in 1912, providing a faster route for passengers travelling between the two stations. However, due to the sparse local population of the area, no station was initially provided at South Kenton.

It wasn’t until the 3rd of July 1933 that a station was finally built, designed by the architect William Henry Hamlyn and opened by the London, Midland, and Scottish Railway.

The new station consisted of a single island platform accessed from both sides of the line by a footbridge. At the time, it was seen as more than adequate for the small local population. However, with the growth of nearby residential areas, the station soon became an important hub for commuters.

In 1948, the nationalisation of the railways saw the ownership of South Kenton Station transfer to British Railways (Midland Region). The station continued to serve the local community, but changes were made in 1964 to improve accessibility. The cumbersome and steep footbridge was removed, and a concrete underpass was built, making it easier for passengers to reach the platforms.

London Underground cut Bakerloo Line services back from Watford Junction to Stonebridge Park on 24th September 1982, however, the service was reinstated to terminate at Harrow & Wealdstone on 4th June 1984.

Following sectorisation of the railways in 1982, the line and station came under the London and Southeast Business Unit, later rebranded to Network Southeast in 1986.

A further and so far final change of management occurred upon privatisation in 1997 when National Express, under their Silverlink Trains subsidiary, assumed control. This lasted for just under ten years when, in November 2007, Transport for London undertook operation of the services under their London Overground brand, while station management was assumed by London Underground.

Station History

Kenton was constructed and opened by the London and North Western Railway on their ‘New Line’ from London Euston to Watford Junction in June 1912. Although the ‘New Line’ ran alongside the existing main line, no platforms have ever been provided to serve these lines.

Services through the station were enhanced by the arrival of London Underground’s Bakerloo Line on 16th April 1917 after the line was extended from Stonebridge Park to Watford Junction.

Following the passing of the Railways Act 1921, Grouping of the railways saw the LNWR absorbed with other companies to form the London, Midland and Scottish Railway with the new entity assuming control of all LNWR stations and services.

The Transport Act 1947 saw the ‘Big Four’ railway companies become Nationalised, with the LMS becoming part of British Railways (Midland Region) on 1st January 1948.

Nothing of any note occurred to the station in the following decades until, on 24th September 1982, London Underground withdrew the Bakerloo Line services between Stonebridge Park and Watford Junction, leaving the station to only be served by British Rail London Euston to Watford services. However, this situation only lasted for just under 2 years as the Bakerloo Line service was reinstated as far as Harrow & Wealdstone on 4th June 1984.

Sectorisation of the railways in 1982 saw the existing regions consigned to history and replaced by new ‘business units’ that would assume responsibility for the running of services and management of stations. The Watford services were placed under the London & Southeastern business unit, being relaunched as Network Southeast on 10 June 1986.

The next change of management was enacted in 1997 when, following the passing of the Railways Act 1993, the business units were sold off to private companies. The Watford DC Line services were assumed by National Express under their Silverlink Trains subsidiary.

The final change of management for the line and its stations came in November 2007 when Transport for London undertook operation of the services under their London Overground brand, while station management was assumed by London Underground.
