Kilburn High Road railway station is near the south end of the Kilburn High Road, London NW6 in the London Borough of Camden. It opened in 1852 as Kilburn & Maida Vale station. At the beginning of the 20th century the station had platforms on all four lines out of Euston but with the construction of the Euston to Watford DC Line the local service took over the Slow Main Line platforms, the Slow Main Line services were diverted through what had been the Fast Main Line platforms and the Fast Main Lines were in turn moved south to their present position. The Slow (previously Fast) Main Line platforms were almost entirely demolished during the electrification of the West Coast Main Line, with the last platform building disappearing in the 1980s when the LNWR platform canopies were removed. The current footbridge and street-level buildings are not so much the result of modernisation but of three or four major fires which have occurred here since the early 1970s.
It is located at grid reference TQ255836.
The typical off-peak service is three trains per hour to London Euston, and three trains per hour to Watford Junction, calling at all stations.
The station appears on internal London Underground (LU) maps as it is used as a reversing point by Bakerloo Line trains when they are unable to enter the LU platforms at Queens Park station due to scheduled work or failures and/or are prevented from reversing in the Up DC line platform there; the fourth rail (bonded to the traction current return rail) continues to Kilburn High Road to permit these manouevres but the carrying of passengers to Kilburn High Road by LU tube trains is not permitted as the platform height is matched to NR trains. There are also one or two "rusty rail" journeys made by LU trains each day to keep the fourth rail clean for the relatively infrequent unscheduled diverted LU trains.
