Kenton, which was opened in 1912 [1], was one of a number of stations built by the London & North Western Railway for it's New Line from
London Euston to
Watford Junction. The Bakerloo Line reaches Kenton in 1917 [2] and apart from 1982-84 have continued to serve Kenton ever since. The LNWR services were electrified and are nowadays the Watford DC Line of the London Overground.
Kenton retains it's original LNWR buildings with canopies, access between the platfoerms is via a footbridge at the Northern end of the platforms. The station is next to the West Coast Main Line though there have never been platforms at Kenton serving those lines. There was a goods yard the other side of the main line but this closed in 1965.
