Edited sentence: A new Brent Cross Thameslink station is proposed further south, and the four platforms at Hendon station are not being extended from 8 to 12 carriages.In early 2008, the London Group of the Campaign for Better Transport published a plan for an off-road, mainly orbital North and West London Light railway, sharing the orbital Dudding Hill Line freight corridor, and taking over the western-most of the two Midland Railway freight lines which run through Hendon station.The eastern-most freight line is needed for freight trains from the Dudding Hill Line to reach the main line slow tracks, via the flyover north of Hendon station.This would allow one or maybe two extra light-rail platforms at the station
