Kilburn High Road
710259, working third rail, arriving at Kilburn High Road station with a London Overground service from Euston to Watford Junction, on 4th January 2020. This station was opened by the L&NWR as Kilburn & Maida Vale in 1852 and these are actually the platforms formerly on the down slow main lines. When the DC electrified 'New Lines' opened in 1912, there was insufficient room on the north side for new platforms so the slow lines were moved to what had been the fast lines with new tracks for fast trains constructed further south. The station was renamed Kilburn High Road in 1923 and the remains of the main line platforms were swept away during the electrification of the WCML in the early 1960s.
