Moor Park is a London Underground station in the Three Rivers district of Hertfordshire, serving those living on the Moor Park estate, and also on the neighbouring Eastbury and South Oxhey estates. The station is outside the Greater London boundary but is in both Zone 6 and Zone 7, between the Metropolitan line stations of Rickmansworth, Croxley (on the Watford branch) and Northwood.

History

The extension from Pinner to Rickmansworth opened in 1887 by the Metropolitan Railway however Moor Park didn't open then. Shortly after in 1899, Great Central Railway trains also passed here, following the Metropolitan via Verney Junction. On 9 May 1910, the station opened as "Sandy Lodge", named after the Sandy Lodge Golf Course. It was renamed as "Moor Park & Sandy Lodge" in 1923 to reflect the area it was in. The lines were electrified in 1925 when the Watford branch was opened and electric-hauled trains also passed here for Rickmansworth to exchange the locos for steam. In 1950 the station was renamed to "Moor Park" and it was completely rebuilt in 1961, increasing the number of platforms to four: two for northbound trains (one for slow/semi-fast and one for fast services) and two for southbound trains to the city. British Rail and Network SouthEast trains also stopped at Moor Park until 1993.

Since the 2011 timetable, fast and semi-fast trains have only run during peak times. The fast trains to Aldgate call from platform 2 during the morning peak, and to Amersham or Chesham from platform 1 during the evening peak. At all other times, and all day at weekends, trains depart from platforms 3 and 4, providing all station or semi-fast services to Baker Street or Aldgate to the south and to Watford, Amersham or Chesham in the northbound direction.
