Brent Cross West, Londons newest mainline station, has opened after the Office of Rail and Road (ORR) authorised it into service. The rail regulator worked with stakeholders, including Barnet Council, throughout the project so that it could meet the required standards for passenger service. The station has four platforms, step-free access from street level to the platforms and two footbridges connecting the station building to its two entrance buildings. Brent Cross West is on the Midland Main Line, and serves Thameslink trains which run services from Bedford to Brighton, including connections to St Pancras International and Luton Airport.

700060, Thameslink to St. Pancras International, arriving at the brand new Brent Cross West station on its First Day opening, Sunday, 10th December 2023. This was the train I travelled back on to St. Pancras after giving the station my seal of approval. It is much bigger and better than I expected it to be.
