South Harrow tube station

|
Station on the Piccadilly Line, zone 5, between Sudbury Hill and Rayners Lane tube station.
The station opened to serve Piccadilly Line trains on 5 July 1935. Prior to that it had been the terminal point of the Metropolitan District Railway line from Hanger Lane, Ealing, which had opened on 28 June 1903. Beyond the station the line crosses the Roxeth Marsh: the viaduct over it between South Harrow and Rayners Lane was an engineering feat of the time. That section of railway was opened by the Metropolitan Railway as a back branch from Rayners Lane and was part of the latter's 1904 Uxbridge extension, built to allow District trains to reach Uxbridge. The section to Rayners Lane was electrified on 1 March 1910.
