Stanmore branch line
The Stanmore branch line was a railway line in Harrow, Middlesex (now Greater London), in the United Kingdom. Located to the north of London, it provided commuter rail services between Harrow and the village of Stanmore. Beginning at Harrow station (now called Harrow & Wealdstone), the line split off from the West Coast Main Line and followed a short 2.12-mile (3.41 km) route to Stanmore. The branch had two stations on the line, Stanmore Village and Belmont (opened later). It was built and promoted by the Harrow and Stanmore Railway, a company owned by local hotel owner Frederick Gordon, and operated by the London and North Western Railway company (LNWR). The line was closed in 1964 during the Beeching axe and today the route only exists as a rail trail footpath and cycle route. The empty platform for the branch line is still visible today at Harrow and Wealdstone station.
