'''Moor Park''' is a [[London Underground]] station in the [[Three Rivers (district)|Three Rivers]] district of [[Hertfordshire]], predominantly serving those living in the [[Moor Park, Hertfordshire|Moor Park]] estate, but also in the neighbouring [[Eastbury, Hertfordshire|Eastbury]] and [[South Oxhey]] estates. The station is outside the [[Greater London]] boundary but is in both [[Travelcard Zone 6|Zone 6]] and [[Travelcard Zones 7-9|Zone 7]].

The station is outside the [[Greater London]] boundary but is in both [[Travelcard Zone 6|Zone 6]] and [[Travelcard Zones 7-9|Zone 7]], and is served by the [[Metropolitan line]] between [[Rickmansworth station|Rickmansworth]] (on the Chesham & Amersham branch) or [[Croxley tube station|Croxley]] (on the Watford branch) and [[Northwood tube station|Northwood]].

==History==
Moor Park station is located between [[Rickmansworth station|Rickmansworth]] (towards Amersham or Chesham), [[Croxley tube station|Croxley]] (towards Watford) and [[Northwood tube station|Northwood]] (towards central London) stations.
The route extension from [[Pinner tube station|Pinner]] to [[Rickmansworth station|Rickmansworth]] opened in 1887 by the [[Metropolitan Railway]]. Shortly after in 1899, [[Great Central Railway]] trains also passed here, following the Metropolitan via [[Verney Junction station|Verney Junction]]. Moor Park didn't open until 9 May 1910, and the station was called '''Sandy Lodge''', after the Sandy Lodge Golf Course. It was renamed to '''Moor Park & Sandy Lodge''' in 1923 to reflect the area it was in. The lines were electrified in 1925 when the [[Watford tube station|Watford]] branch was opened and electric-hauled trains passed to Rickmansworth to exchange the traction 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 stopped calling at Moor Park from 1993.


It lies between Sandy Lodge Golf Course and Moor Park. The station has four platforms, two for northbound trains (one for the Watford service and one for the Amersham/Chesham service) and two for southbound trains to [[Baker Street tube station|Baker Street]] (one for the slow trains and one for fast - although southbound services vary in the morning peak).
Since the 2011 timetable, fast and semi-fast trains have only run during peak times. The fast trains to [[Aldgate tube station|Aldgate]] call from platform 2 during the morning peak, and to [[Amersham tube station|Amersham]] or [[Chesham tube station|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 tube station|Baker Street]] or Aldgate going southbound, and to Watford, Amersham or Chesham northbound.

Since 2011, fast and semi-fast services have only run during peak times with services to [[Aldgate tube station|Aldgate]] from platform 2 during the morning peak, and services to Amersham and Chesham on platform 1 during the evening peak.

Every other time during the day, and all day at weekends, train services depart from platforms 3 and 4 providing all stations services to Baker Street or Aldgate to the south and Watford, Amersham or Chesham in the northbound direction.

Despite sharing the fast lines with the Amersham/Chesham trains, [[British Rail|British Rail (Chiltern)]] (now [[Chiltern Railways]]) trains to [[Aylesbury railway station|Aylesbury]]/[[Marylebone station|Marylebone]] ceased calling here in 1993.

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, and is served by the Metropolitan line between Rickmansworth (on the Chesham & Amersham branch) or Croxley (on the Watford branch) and Northwood.

History

[edit]

The route extension from Pinner to Rickmansworth opened in 1887 by the Metropolitan Railway. Shortly after in 1899, Great Central Railway trains also passed here, following the Metropolitan via Verney Junction. Moor Park didn't open until 9 May 1910, and the station was called Sandy Lodge, after the Sandy Lodge Golf Course. It was renamed to 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 passed to Rickmansworth to exchange the traction 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 stopped calling at Moor Park from 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 going southbound, and to Watford, Amersham or Chesham northbound.
