Primrose Hill was a railway station at Primrose Hill, in the London Borough of Camden, London, England. It was opened on 5 May 1855 as Hampstead Road,〔Butt (1995), page 113〕 replacing an earlier station of that name (opened 9 June 1851). It was renamed Chalk Farm on 1 December 1862〔Butt (1995), page 57〕 and became Primrose Hill on 25 September 1950.〔Butt (1995), page 191〕 The station closed on 28 September 1992.〔 ==History== The station was at the junction of the line west from on the North London Line and the West Coast Main Line. There were platforms on both lines; they could be seen from trains using . The platforms serving Euston closed in 1915. The remaining passenger service was, usually peak hours only, between Broad Street and . After Broad Street closed in 1986 the service ran to , 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 (Low Level). The area is served by the nearby 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.〔 〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Primrose Hill railway station」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
