Шаблон:Short description Шаблон:For Шаблон:Use dmy dates Шаблон:Use British English Шаблон:Infobox London station Hampstead was an authorised but unbuilt railway station in Hampstead, north London planned by the Metropolitan and St John's Wood Railway (M&StJWR).
Plan
The M&StJWR had received authorisation in July 1864 to construct a railway from the Metropolitan Railway's (MR's) station at Baker Street to a station near the London and North Western Railway's station at Finchley Road. The line was to be partly funded and operated by the MR.Шаблон:Sfn
Before construction had begun, an extension was authorised across mostly open countryside to the village of Hampstead.[1] The station was to be located at the junction of Willow Road, Flask Walk and Weatherall Place (now the south end of Well Walk).Шаблон:Sfn The extension was authorised in May 1865.[2] The route between Swiss Cottage and Hampstead included an incline of 1 in 27 (3.7%) for which five special engines were constructed by the MR to deal with the steep grade.Шаблон:SfnШаблон:Efn
The M&StJWR struggled financially and the plans for the line to Finchley Road were reduced in scope so that it opened in 1868 as a single-track line only as far as Swiss Cottage and the continuation to Finchley Road and Hampstead was postponed. The plan was formally abandoned in 1870.Шаблон:Sfn A Шаблон:Convert section of tunnel built north of Swiss Cottage station in readiness for the line north was used for the MR's later extension to the north-west.Шаблон:Sfn A short length northwards was unused.Шаблон:Sfn This is still visible today when travelling on a southbound Metropolitan line service.
Separate proposals by other promoters for a line from Swiss Cottage to Alexandra Palace via Hampstead were promoted in 1875 and 1877, but were withdrawn for financial reasons and lack of support from the MR.Шаблон:Sfn Шаблон:Clear left
