Tips for passengers

Wembley Park Station and Wembley Central Station are the main rail and Underground interchanges on the route, so they are useful for trips into the wider network. Hendon Central Station is a good point for connecting to the north. Because the weekend gaps are longer, check the departure time before leaving if you are travelling to Alperton or Kingsbury at the weekend.
