Queen's Park station

Queen’s Park station stands at the southern end of Salusbury Road in the London Borough of Brent. It serves as an interchange between the Bakerloo line of the London Underground and the Lioness line of the London Overground. The station sits near the south-east corner of Queen’s Park itself, from which the area takes its name. It lies in London fare zone two, making it part of the city’s central transport network. The station opened in 1879 on the main line from London to Birmingham. Bakerloo line services began in 1915, running north to Willesden Junction over shared tracks. The station is notable for its surface platforms covered by a glazed roof. All platforms are reached by stairs behind the ticket barriers, though step-free access has been requested. About a third of Bakerloo line trains terminate here, while others continue to Harrow & Wealdstone. The two inner tracks split into four in a carriage shed to the west, where trains can switch between lines. The Bakerloo line tunnel portals lie roughly 300 metres to the east of the station. At peak times, sixteen trains per hour run to Elephant & Castle on the Bakerloo line. Four trains per hour serve Stonebridge Park and Harrow & Wealdstone, while eight terminate at Queen’s Park. The Lioness line provides four trains per hour to Euston and Watford Junction. London Buses routes 6, 36, 187, 206 and 316 stop outside the station. Plans exist to introduce new stabling sidings and realign tracks for future Bakerloo line rolling stock.
