About Queen's Park station
Trains on the London and North Western Railway’s main line from London to Birmingham were calling here from 2 June 1879, when the station went by the name Queen’s Park (West Kilburn). The Bakerloo arrived from Kilburn Park on 11 February 1915, the year the old suffix was dropped, and on 10 May 1915 its trains began running further north to Willesden Junction over the newly built Watford DC tracks shared with the LNWR. Main line calls have since disappeared: London Midland’s three daily stops, never shown in public timetables, ended with the December 2013 timetable.
Everything here is at ground level under a glazed roof, and the Bakerloo tunnel portals sit about 300 metres east of the platforms. West of the station the two centre tracks fan out into a four-road carriage shed, where Bakerloo trains that start or finish here normally reverse; trains heading on to the Watford DC line pass through the shed on its outer roads. Around a third of Bakerloo line trains terminate at Queen’s Park, while the rest continue towards Harrow & Wealdstone. The slow main line platforms, 5 and 6, are kept for engineering work and partial closures, and all platforms are reached by stairs behind the ticket barriers.

Frequently asked questions
Queen’s Park has a four-track carriage shed just west of the platforms. Trains that terminate here normally use its two centre tracks to reverse, which is why around a third of Bakerloo line services finish at Queen’s Park while the others continue north over the Watford DC line towards Harrow & Wealdstone.
No. When the London and North Western Railway opened it on 2 June 1879 it was Queen’s Park (West Kilburn). The shorter name dates from 1915, the year Bakerloo line trains reached the station. The area itself took its modern name from the public park beside Salusbury Road.
