Northwood Hills Underground Station
Northwood Hills is an above-ground London Underground station in the London Borough of Hillingdon . It is in the Travelcard tariff zone 6 on Joel Street. The station served by the Metropolitan Line was used by 1.48 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 line to Rickmansworth was opened in 1887 by the Metropolitan Railway (predecessor company of the Metropolitan Line) and electrified in 1925. However, the population density in the area was initially very low, which is why the station did not open until November 13, 1933. The station got its name in a competition. The name Hills seems to indicate that the station is on a range of hills, but in fact it is even lower than Northwood . In 1961, the line between Harrow-on-the-Hill and Northwood Hills was given a second double track. A year later this was extended to the junction north of Moor Park .
