Wembley Central is an interchange station on a single major route served by London Underground Bakerloo line, London Overground, London Midland and Southern routes. It is on the modest-sized east-west High Road, high street of Wembley, in north-west London. LO trains (3 trains per hour) and Bakerloo line trains use the Watford DC Line platforms on the west side of the station (1 and 2). London Midland and Southern services use the slow line platforms on the east side (5 and 6). Many additional London Midland services stop here when there are events at Wembley Stadium. ==History== Brief Details *20 July 1837: London and Birmingham Railway line opened *1842: Station opened as "Sudbury" *1 May 1882: renamed "Sudbury & Wembley" *1 November 1910: renamed "Wembley for Sudbury", coincident with construction of the "LNWR New Line" *16 April 1917: Bakerloo line service commenced over New Line *1936 Street level building reconstructed with shopping arcade *1948 Further work in preparation for Olympic Games at Wembley Stadium *5 July 1948: renamed "Wembley Central" *1960s Station Square constructed on raft over station, providing most of current layout. *24 September 1982: Bakerloo line service withdrawn *4 June 1984: Bakerloo line service re-instated *November 2007: Station management transferred from Silverlink Trains to London Underground *June 2008: 1936/1948 surface buildings in process of being demolished for redevelopment *February 2009: Southern services between Milton Keynes Central and East Croydon stop here (each hour Mon-Sat daytime). *December 2014: London Midland services between London Euston and Tring have been introduced (each hour Mon-Sat daytime). 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「Wembley Central station」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
