Hendon railway station is a National Rail station situated to the west of Hendon, in the London Borough of Barnet in North London, at grid reference TQ221882.
The station lies on the north-south Midland Main Line and is served by Thameslink trains on the Thameslink route. It is on the boundary of Travelcard Zone 3 and Travelcard Zone 4.
It was built by the Midland Railway in 1868 on its extension to St. Pancras. From 1875 the Midland opened a service to Victoria on the London, Chatham and Dover Railway and received coaches from the London and South Western Railway for attachment to north-bound trains.[2]
Services
The typical off-peak service from the station is four trains per hour southbound to London, Wimbledon and Sutton, and four trains per hour northbound, of which two terminate at St Albans and two run to Luton. Services to and from Brighton, Three Bridges and Gatwick Airport stop here at night only, but pass through non-stop during the day.
East Midlands Trains InterCity services from Leeds, Sheffield and Leicester run through at high speed, but do not stop. Interchange with InterCity services can be made at Luton and St Pancras International.
Development
From March 2009, Southeastern and Thameslink began running some peak hour trains from Sevenoaks to Luton,[3] though in the off-peak these services turn back at Kentish Town.
