Harrow & Wealdstone Tube Station
The Harrow & Wealdstone Tube Station is located near the overpass for the A409 Road. It is approached from Sandridge Close from the west side, where there are more parking space, and another entrance on the east side, off Masons Avenue. The east entrance has a small clock tower. An overhead footbridge connects the two entrances to the platforms. The station began operating in 1837 as the Harrow Station for the London and Birmingham Railway. The Bakerloo Line was extended to this station on 16 April, 1917.
On 8 October, 1952, a train crash happened at the station killing 112 people and injuring hundreds more. It happened when a Scottish express train heading south crashed into the back of a local train that was on platform 4. Moments later, another train heading north crashed into the wreckage.
Extension of Services to Watford Junction
The Bakerloo Line is expected to be extended to Watford Junction Station. This follows a decision made in February, 2006. However commuters might not see this happening before 2025, when new carriages for the Bakerloo Line is ready. Until then, the stretch will be served by the London Overground trains.
