It is as track which carries trains that go "underground" cannot have the running rails as the "earth" return and thus there is a need for the fourth rail. |

For more accuracy the blue flag pointer should appear directly over the railway lines running under Wembley High Road. |

The London & North Western Railway electrified its London suburban services in the years between 1909 and 1922. Stonebridge Park power station supplied electricity at 630V DC to the Euston-Watford trains, running on a fourth-rail electrified system. Did it also serve the North London Line from Broad Street to Richmond? |

Stonebridge Park supplied electricity at 11kV ac to eleven substations to reduce the voltage and convert the power to 630V dc. The substations were located at strategic points in the network, which included the following lines: Euston-Watford, Willesden Junction-Earl's Court, and Richmond-Broad Street (the North London Railway). Some further details are included on my first comments on the Wiki page. |

This Power Station with sheds alongside was next to the pair of Bakerloo lines between Wembley Central and Stonebridge Park stations. The sheds were for Bakerloo trains. The Neasden Power Station and sheds were 1.25 miles to the north-east on the Met. and Marylebone lines. This Power Station was demolished in the 1960s. During WW2 the camouflage made it look like a cloudy version of the sports field to the north. For another view see the London Transport Museum image. |

L.N.W.R. (Later London Transport Neasden Depot) looking north and showing the Electric Generating station and vast numbers of coal wagons supplying the fuel needed. Just visible at the southern end are several early tube cars. |
