North Harrow Underground Station
North Harrow is an overground station of the London Underground in the London Borough of Harrow . It is in the Travelcard - Tarifzone 5 at the Station Road. The station served by the Metropolitan Line was used by 1.69 million passengers in 2013.
The station is on the four-track section between Harrow-on-the-Hill and Moor Park . Only the two northern tracks have side platforms; local trains of the Metropolitan Line stop at these. Express trains of the Metropolitan Line as well as all trains of the railway company Chiltern Railways run on the two southern tracks without stopping.
The route of the Metropolitan Railway (predecessor company of the Metropolitan Line) existed since May 25, 1885, but the station was only built later, as the density of the buildings was very low at the beginning. The opening took place on March 22, 1915. On January 5, 1925, the Harrow-on-the-Hill - Rickmansworth section was electrified. In 1961, the line between Harrow-on-the-Hill and Northwood Hills was given a second double track.
