Development
From March 2009, Southeastern and First Capital Connect began running some peak hour trains from Sevenoaks to Luton, though in the off-peak these services turn back at Kentish Town.
Other trains from south of the River Thames within the larger Thameslink network may call at the station from 2015, when it is likely that the existing Sutton Loop trains will terminate at Blackfriars.
A new Brent Cross Thameslink station is proposed further south. The four platforms at Hendon station are not being extended from 8 to 12 carriages as there is insufficient demand to warrant 12-carriage trains calling there. The only other Thameslink stations north of the River Thames remaining with 8-car platform lengths are Cricklewood and Kentish Town.
