On 20th November 1905 the Great Central Railway opened a new route for freight trains between Neasden Junction and Northolt Junction, and on 1st March 1906 passenger services began from High Wycombe to the Great Central's then new terminus at Marylebone. The line was built though open country, yet impressive stations were provided. However, passengers tended to opt for the parallel (now Piccadilly) line, and by 1968 the service was said to be the sparsest in London. Plans were afoot to close it between Neasden and Northolt and direct trains into Paddington, but the line has survived.
