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. Headstone Lane station opened on 10th February 1913. Suburban trains were diverted from 15th June 1912 to run over the "New Lines", which had just been built between Euston and Watford Junction. This is the route which was used by Bakerloo services from 16th April 1917 until 24th September 1982 and are used today by London Overground trains. The fast lines are beyond the station to the right here. The next station in this direction is Hatch End.
