Hendon railway station

Hendon railway station is a National Rail station on the Midland Main Line in England, in West Hendon in the London Borough of Barnet, north London.

It is 6 miles 79 chains (11.2 km) down the line from St Pancras and is situated between Brent Cross West to the south and Mill Hill Broadway to the north.

From 1875 the Midland opened a service to Victoria on the London, Chatham and Dover Railway line and received coaches from the London and South Western Railway for attachment to northbound trains.

From March 2009, Southeastern and Thameslink began running some peak hour trains from Sevenoaks to Luton,[5] though in the off-peak these services turn back at Kentish Town.

[6] The scheme, known as the West London Orbital envisages re-opening the Dudding Hill freight line to passenger services and running trains from West Hampstead Thameslink and Hendon to Hounslow via the planned Old Oak Common Lane station.
