About Neasden station
The Metropolitan Railway opened this station on 2 August 1880, during its extension towards Harrow, under the name Kingsbury & Neasden. It became Neasden & Kingsbury in 1910 and plain Neasden in 1932, the same year Kingsbury station opened. Stanmore services passed to the new eastern branch of the Bakerloo line in 1939, Metropolitan trains stopped calling the following year, and in 1979 the main service transferred to the Jubilee line. Metropolitan line trains still pass through without stopping.
Neasden opened with three platforms, unusual for a small station, because many local Metropolitan trains terminated here and were stabled in the nearby depot. Two more were added in 1914 when the line between Finchley Road and Harrow-on-the-Hill was quadrupled. Platforms 2 and 3, now used by the Jubilee line, are built to a “transition height” that suits both tube trains and the larger Metropolitan stock. With Baker Street and Willesden Green, it is one of the few stations on the southern section of the former Metropolitan main line to keep its original platform buildings, although the surface building in Neasden Lane lost its original roof and high chimneys in the late 20th century.

Normally they pass through. Platforms 1 and 4, on the Metropolitan line, are used on a few days a year for local events and when needed because of disruption. The Jubilee line platforms are built to transition height so the larger Metropolitan trains can occasionally use them early in the morning, late at night or during engineering work.
