The National Rail station was opened by the Midland Railway in 1868 on the extension to its new London terminal at St Pancras. Prior to that, Midland Railway trains used the London and North Western Railway lines to Euston or the Great Northern Railway lines to King's Cross. Until the St. Pancras extension was complete, and for some time afterwards, some trains exchanged the locomotive at Kentish Town for one fitted with condensing apparatus and continued to Moorgate station, then named Moorgate Street station. For some years trains ran from Kentish Town to Victoria station on the South Eastern and Chatham Railway. The second largest motive power depot and repair facility on the Midland Rail was north of the station.[3] In 1861 a collision occurred at a siding near the station in which sixteen people were killed and 317 were injured.
The reason for the failure of the enterprise is not known, though it is believed that complaints from local residents and pressure generated by other track owners had some bearing on the decision.[6] Other speculation suggests the experiment failed because the animals had no interest in racing[5].
