It was opened on 5 May 1855 as Hampstead Road,[1] replacing an earlier station of that name (opened 9 June 1851). It was renamed Chalk Farm on 1 December 1862[2] and became Primrose Hill on 25 September 1950.[3] The station closed on 28 September 1992.[3] HistoryThe station was at the junction of the line west from {{Stnlnk|Camden Road}} on the North London Line and the West Coast Main Line. There were platforms on both lines; they could be seen from trains using {{Stnlnk|Euston}}. The platforms serving Euston closed in 1915. The remaining passenger service was, usually during peak hours only, between Broad Street and {{Stnlnk|Watford Junction}}. After Broad Street closed in 1986 the service ran to {{LUL stations|station=Liverpool Street}}, and by the time Primrose Hill station closed only one passenger train a day was using the line. When the sweep of the North London Line through Hampstead Heath is closed for emergencies or engineering work, the route through Primrose Hill is a viable diversion for North London Line services to access {{LUL stations|station=Willesden Junction}} (Low Level). The area is served by the nearby {{LUL stations|station=Chalk Farm}} station on the Northern line of the London Underground. The station building still exists, and is occupied by a shop. It is on Bridge Approach at one end of the pedestrianised bridge over the railway tracks. Nearby is The Roundhouse, an 1847 turntable engine shed, now used as an entertainment venue. The platform canopies and the buildings supporting them were demolished by Network Rail in December 2008.[4] Plans{{Primrose Hill RDT}}It has been proposed{{cn|date=February 2018}} to re-open Primrose Hill station by bringing the short stretch of line between {{Stnlnk|South Hampstead}} and {{Stnlnk|Camden Road}} stations back into the regular passenger service by incorporating it into the London Overground network. {{Disused Rail Start}}{{rail line|previous={{Stnlnk|Camden Road}}Line closed, station open |next={{Stnlnk|South Hampstead}} Line closed, station open ||route=North London-Watford Link (LNWR suburban system) |col={{LNWR colour}} }}{{rail end}}{{clearleft}} See also
