[edit] History

A 1914 Railway Clearing House map of railways in the vicinity of Sudbury & Harrow Road

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. On 2 April 1906 these services were extended to Northolt Junction.[3]

[edit] Services

The station is served by a handful of peak-hour trains from Marylebone towards High Wycombe and Birmingham Snow Hill, possibly surviving in recent years due to vociferous support from enough local commuters who do not wish to use buses to reach other nearby railway services.[citation needed]
