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. The original station here opened as Pinner on the London & Birmingham Railway in the 1840s. It was renamed Pinner & Hatch End on 1st January 1897. The present station was built in 1911. Suburban trains were diverted from 15th June 1912 to run over the "New Lines", which had just been built between Euston and Watford Junction. The station was served by the Baker Street & Waterloo Railway (Bakerloo) from 16th April 1917, when Bakerloo services were extended from Willesden Junction to Watford Junction. The station was again renamed Hatch End (for Pinner) on 1st February 1920, and finally Hatch End on 11 June 1956. Bakerloo line services were withdrawn on 24th September 1982. The New Lines are today used by London Overground trains. The fast lines are beyond the station to the right here. The next station in this direction is Carpenders Park. The snow of the previous Sunday was still lingering.
