The London & Birmingham Railway opened from Euston to Boxmoor in 1837 and on to Birmingham in 1838. In 1846 it became part of the London & North Western Railway. Suburban trains were diverted from 15th June 1912 to run over the "New Lines", which had just been built between Euston and Watford Junction. These are the route used today by Bakerloo and Overground trains. South Kenton station opened on 3rd July 1933. The fast lines are seen beyond the station here and this is one of the best train-spotting stations in London. A Pendolino out of Euston rushes past on its way north.
