Northwood Underground Station
Northwood is an above-ground station of the London Underground in the London Borough of Hillingdon . It is in the Travelcard tariff zone 6 on Green Lane. The station served by the Metropolitan Line was used by 2.28 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. Individual trains coming from London turn in Northwood, but usually only in the event of construction work or operational disruptions further north.
The station was opened on September 1, 1887 by the Metropolitan Railway (predecessor of the Metropolitan Line). On January 5, 1925, the Harrow-on-the-Hill - Rickmansworth section was electrified. In 1962, the route between Northwood Hills and the junction north of Moor Park received a second double lane.
