shortly after its closure in 1938]] There are several dozen permanently closed London Underground stations across the London Underground ("tube") network. Some were simply built too near to other stations to be useful; others experienced too little use to make their retention worthwhile, or became redundant after lines were rerouted. Some of the closed stations retain their original station façades, while others have been demolished to make way for shops. At least one ( Aldwych ) is now used for filming and exhibition purposes. A number of other stations, Charing Cross for example, while still open, have closed platforms or sections. PERMANENTLY CLOSED STATIONS These stations of the London Underground and its predecessor companies (such as the Metropolitan Railway, the City and South London Railway and Underground Electric Railways of London) are now closed and, for the most part, abandoned: The following stations were all located at the far end of the Metropolitan Line :
It is possible however that some of these stations may reopen eventually with the rebuilding of the Varsity Line on the National Rail network. OPEN STATIONS WITH CLOSED SECTIONS STATIONS FORMERLY SERVED BY LONDON UNDERGROUND Stations beyond Amersham , formerly served by the Metropolitan Line now served by Chiltern Railways Stations beyond Ealing Broadway , formerly served by the District Line between 1883 and 1885 , now served by First Great Western : Some stations beyond Upminster , formerly served by the District Line when it had a through service to Southend , now served by C2c .
:Note: Moorgate , Old Street , Highbury & Islington and Finsbury Park were also served by Underground trains on this line and are still served by other Underground Lines. Stations beyond Harrow & Wealdstone , formerly served by the Bakerloo Line , now served by Silverlink . It is expected that these stations will transfer back to the Bakerloo line when management of the North London Railways franchise is transferred from the Department For Transport to Transport For London . STATIONS PART-BUILT BUT NEVER OPENED Some tube stations were only partially constructed and never opened:
STATIONS PLANNED TO BECOME PART OF THE UNDERGROUND Northern Line developments The above-Northern Line extension to Bushey was part of the of the 1930s . Part of this plan was for the Northern Line to take over existing LNER Lines in north London. This was completed from East Finchley to High Barnet and Mill Hill East but the project was halted by the outbreak of the Second World War and financial cutbacks after the war meant that the project was not restarted and a number of stations were never incorporated:
:Note: The original surface part of Highgate station between Crouch End and Cranley Gardens also closed although the newer Underground section remains open. Central Line developments Denham station was to have been the original terminus of the western extension of the Central Line but the introduction of Green Belt legislation caused the extension to be cut back to West Ruislip . The intermediate stop, Harefield Road was similarly planned but not built.
