About North Wembley station
The station stands on the London and North Western Railway’s New Line between Euston and Watford Junction, and the station first opened on that line on 15 June 1912. LER Bakerloo trains followed on 16 April 1917, and the two services still share the same pair of platforms: Bakerloo line and Lioness line trains towards London use platform 1, while those heading north use platform 2.
The planners meant to call it East Lane, after the road that passes over the railway at this point, yet the station carried the name North Wembley from opening day. It was built to the same general design as the other new stations on the route, and its layout makes it almost a twin of Kenton, two stops further north. Ticket gates and departure boards are relatively recent additions.
