History
Template:Maplink The station was one of several built on the London and North Western Railway's New Line from Camden to Watford Junction which enabled local services from Watford Junction station to reach Euston station and Broad Street station in London. The New Line was mostly alongside main line of the London and Birmingham Railway in 1837. Template:Citation needed
Kenton station was opened on 15 June 1912.<ref name=CULG>Template:Cite web</ref> It has only ever had platforms on the New Line; parallel main line services call at Harrow and Wealdstone station, one stop to the north, with some also calling at Wembley Central station, three stops to the south.
