History

On 1 May 1884, the station was renamed New Barnet. The goods yard closed in 1966. In 1896, the station was rebuilt to its modern form by re-siting the down platform opposite the existing up platform and providing a new brick structure on the new platform. A Nissen hut was provided in replacement on the western side of the station before a permanent structure was eventually provided. In autumn 2008, a new SHERE self-service ticket machine, accepting both cash and credit cards, was installed here (and similarly at other local First Capital Connect stations). The station serves the area of New Barnet and the small shopping parade around East Barnet Road.
