In 2017 the London Assembly and Transport for London published a plan to extend the London Overground network to Hendon. The scheme, known as the West London Orbital envisages re-opening the Dudding Hill freight line to passenger services and running trains from and Hendon to via the planned station. The plans are currently at public consultation stage with TfL.
