History

Mill Hill East station was built by the Edgware, Highgate and London Railway (EH&LR) and was originally opened as Mill Hill on 22 August 1867 by the Great Northern Railway (GNR) (which had taken over the EH&LR) in what was then rural Middlesex. The station was on a line that ran from Finsbury Park to Edgware via Highgate. // Edgware, Highgate and London Railway This railway ran from Finsbury Park to Edgware, and remains in its original form only in the sections of the Northern Line between East Finchley station and Mill Hill East. ...

The EH&LR was originally built as a single track line with the intention of doubling the track at a later date when business developed. However, when the GNR opened a branch from Finchley Central to High Barnet in April 1872 traffic on that section of the line was greater and the second track was never laid from Finchley Central to Edgware. For most of its history the service between those two stations was operated as a shuttle. 1872 (MDCCCLXXII) was a leap year starting on Monday (see link for calendar) of the Gregorian calendar or a leap year starting on Wednesday of the 12-day-slower Julian calendar. ...

In preparation for the transfer to London Underground operation, new track laying and electrification works had begun on the whole of the line from Finsbury Park when the start of the Second World War caused the postponement of the improvements. Passenger shuttle services on the Finchley Central to Edgware section were ended on 11 September 1939 but, to provide quick rail access to Mill Hill Barracks, the electrification of the short section of track between Finchley Central and Mill Hill East was completed although the track remained a single line. The station reopened on 18 May 1941. The work on the rest of the line from Mill Hill East to Edgware was left incomplete and after the war the proposal to electrify the line and to incorporate it into the Underground system was abandoned.
