@CadenceCPK The BR services on the line were run by Network SouthEast from 1986, and Silverlink won the franchise when BR was privatised in the 1990s. Transport for London took over the Silverlink Metro services in 2007 and re-branded them as London Overground.

@CadenceCPK Some LNWR trains also ran to Broad Street, leaving this line at either Willesden Junction or Primrose Hill and then using the North London line. This service last ran in the 1980s. The LNWR became part of the LMS in 1923 and then British Railways in 1948. In 1982 Bakerloo line trains stopped running north of Stonebridge Park, but were extended back to Harrow and Wealdstone two years later.

@CadenceCPK London Overground class 378s, which are to BR loading gauge, also use them. It was built by the LNWR as part of widening the line between London and Watford to 6 tracks. Although the original plan included a reversing loop underneath Euston, this was not built and instead LNWR trains used the lines to Euston (using existing tracks from Primrose Hill) and the Bakerloo was extended from Paddington to Queens Park, where it came above ground and used this line to Watford.
