Colindale tube station is a London Underground station in Colindale, a suburb of north London. The station is on the north-south Edgware branch of the Northern Line, between Burnt Oak and Hendon Central stations, and in Travelcard Zone 4.
History[]
The station opened on 18 August 1924 on the north side of Colindale Avenue, on what was then the 'Hampstead and Highgate Line', the first station of the second section of the extension to Edgware. The platforms are located underneath the east-west road, not just on one side.
The original classical style station building designed by Underground Architect Stanley Heaps was destroyed by bombing in 1940. The simple temporary timber structure erected in its place actually lasted longer than the original building as it was not replaced until 1962 when a new building was constructed incorporating shops.
Attractions[]
The British Library Newspaper Library is presently situated at Colindale, but is scheduled to move. It was a popular destination for travellers intending to reach Oriental City up until its closure; indeed, there was once a piece of graffiti on the station wall giving directions to it, which has now been removed.
The RAF Museum London is another popular destination for travellers going to Colindale. It's about 10 minutes walking distance from the station.

Services[]
The station is sometimes used as a terminus for trains travelling north, instead of them continuing to Edgware. Some regular off-peak service patterns in recent years have seen all trains joining the Edgware branch from the Bank branch terminating at Colindale, though this is not the current (2009) pattern. Reversal of trains at this station makes use of a turn-back siding, situated between the running lines north of the station.
