About Kenton station
Kenton opened on 15 June 1912 on the London and North Western Railway’s New Line from Camden to Watford Junction, built to carry local trains to Euston and Broad Street. It has only ever had platforms on that line; trains on the parallel main line run straight through, calling instead at Harrow & Wealdstone one stop north. The Bakerloo line reached Kenton on 16 April 1917.
Tube service was not continuous: Bakerloo trains stopped running north of Stonebridge Park on 24 September 1982, and Kenton was without them until 4 June 1984. The station’s old coal yard on the east side of the railway, no longer needed, is now a Sainsbury’s supermarket.

Frequently asked questions
On 24 September 1982 Bakerloo services north of Stonebridge Park were withdrawn, which took the tube away from Kenton. The gap was short-lived: Bakerloo trains returned to Kenton on 4 June 1984.
The station was built in 1912 only on the London and North Western Railway’s New Line for local trains between Watford Junction and London. It has never had platforms on the parallel main line, whose trains call at Harrow & Wealdstone to the north and, for some services, Wembley Central to the south.
