History

A 1914 Railway Clearing House map of railways in the vicinity of Sudbury Hill Harrow (shown here as South Harrow)

On 20 November 1905 the Great Central Railway opened a new route for freight trains between Neasden Junction and Northolt Junction. Passenger services from Marylebone began on 1 March 1906, when three new stations were opened: Wembley Hill, Sudbury & Harrow Road and South Harrow. ^[3] On 2 April 1906 these services were extended to Northolt Junction. ^[4] On 19 July 1926 South Harrow station was renamed Sudbury Hill Harrow. ^{[5] [6]}

The service was reduced to peak hours only from 7 September 1964, ^[7] due to a lack of demand. There was a temporary closure from 22 September 1990 to 7 October 1990. ^[8] In November 2004, however, following concerted efforts by the London Transport Users Committee (now known as London TravelWatch) an hourly off-peak service was introduced.
