This station was added to the line in 1933 to serve new housing developments along Nether Street and the Dollis Valley. The line was owned by the LNER at the time and, as that company was struggling financially, the station was built as cheaply as possible using materials salvaged from other stations that had been closed. The modern cctv cameras and lights clash with the steam era waiting rooms and footbridge.
