From March 2009, Southeastern and Thameslink began running some peak hour trains from Sevenoaks to Luton,[5] though in the off-peak these services turn back at Kentish Town.
In 2017 the London Assembly and Transport for London published a plan to extend the London Overground network to Hendon.[6] The scheme, known as the West London Orbital envisages re-opening the Dudding Hill freight line to passenger services and running trains from West Hampstead Thameslink and Hendon to Hounslow via the planned Old Oak Common Lane station. The plans are currently at public consultation stage with TfL.[7][needs update]
London Buses routes 83, 183, SL10, school routes 653 and 683 and night routes N5 and N83 serve the station.[8]
