The station was opened as "Harrow" on 2nd August 1880, when the Metropolitan Railway was extended from its previous terminus at Willesden Green. Its name was changed to "Harrow-on-the-Hill" on 1st June 1894. What is now the Chiltern Line began as the Great Central Railway on 15th March 1899. The Great Central Railway provided services from Harrow to destinations such as Rugby, Leicester, Nottingham and Manchester before the Beeching Axe cut them back to Aylesbury. This view looks from the bridge west of Harrow-on-the-Hill station towards London. The Chiltern Lines are on the far right. A down Metropolitan line train has just left the station.
