History
An official opening ceremony was held on 27 May 1981, attended by the chairman of London Transport and the Mayor of Harrow. It was built at a cost of £865,000. The bus station opened to the public on 30 May.
Vandalism was a major problem for the bus station. In April 1988, London Regional Transport announced that they had commissioned an architect to examine the bus station and recommend changes to counter vandalism. The bus station reopened on 27 June 1993 following a four month refurbishment.
