The Metropolitan Railway was extended from Swiss Cottage via Kilburn to Willesden Green in 1879, and in the following year on to Harrow-on-the-Hill. In 1894 the Metropolitan Railway added a second pair of tracks between Finchley Road and Harrow; these now convey Chiltern Line trains out of Marylebone. Dollis Hill station opened on 1st October 1909 as part of the Metropolitan line. Between 1913 and 1915 the Metropolitan Railway added two more tracks between Finchley Road and Wembley Park. On 20th November 1939, two of these tracks were transferred to the Bakerloo line when it took over the stopping service on the opening of the Stanmore branch. Stopping services were transferred to the Jubilee line on 1st May 1979. This view is from the Jubilee line platforms looking towards London. A Marylebone-bound Chiltern Line train can be seen to the right, beyond the down Jubilee and Metropolitan lines.
