Stanmore is aLondon Underground station inStanmore, north-westLondon. It is the northernterminus of theJubilee line and the next station towards south isCanons Park. The station is located on the south side of London Road (part of theA410) and is inLondon fare zone 5.
Stanmore station was opened on 10 December 1932 by theMetropolitan Railway (now theMetropolitan line).[8] The station building and those on the branch were designed by the Metropolitan Railway's architect,Charles W. Clark, in the suburban style used on the company's other post-First World War stations such as those on theWatford branch. The introduction of fast, direct trains into London attracted commuters to the Metropolitan Railway and presented competition for theLondon, Midland and Scottish Railway, who operated a rival train service fromStanmore Village railway station approximately 0.62 miles (1.00 km) away. The slower LMS trains ran on theStanmore branch line as far asHarrow & Wealdstone, where they connected with London-bound services, but after 20 years of competing with the Metropolitan line, the Village station was closed byBritish Railways in 1952.[9]
In 1934, a proposal to extend the Metropolitan line northwards was discussed by theLondon Passenger Transport Board's Engineering Committee as an alternative or complementary scheme to theextension of theNorthern line fromEdgware. It would have required 1.2 miles (1.9 km) of double track tunnel to reach the proposed station atElstree South with Metropolitan line trains continuing toBushey orAldenham. A revision of the proposal in 1936, considered extending the Stanmore line toElstree.[10] The proposals were not included in the plans eventually submitted for parliamentary approval in the LPTB'sNew Works Programme.
Following construction of deep-level tube tunnels betweenFinchley Road andBaker Street, the Stanmore branch of the Metropolitan line with its five stopping stations between Finchley Road andWembley Park was transferred to theBakerloo line on 20 November 1939.[8] This service was then transferred to the Jubilee line on 1 May 1979.[8]
In 2005,Transport for London began the construction of a third platform at the station. This was structurally complete by the summer of 2009 but could not be brought into use until new signalling equipment on that part of the line had been commissioned, the platform opening to use in July 2011.
Stanmore station is the northern terminus of the Jubilee line and the next station isCanons Park to the south.
