The station is served by Thameslink-operated trains on the Thameslink route. It is in Transport for London's Travelcard Zone 4.
History
The station was built by the Midland Railway as simply "Mill Hill" in 1868 on its extension to St. Pancras, being renamed in 1950. The station was rebuilt in the 1960s in connection with the construction of the M1 motorway.
Since 14 September 2014 train services have been operated by Thameslink.
Prior to the major engineering works to create the "Thameslink Box" at St Pancras, Mill Hill Broadway was also served at peak times by Moorgate fast trains. These trains provided a non-stop service to King's Cross Thameslink twice an hour. In 2009, several morning peak southbound fast services (stopping only at West Hampstead) and several evening peak northbound fast services (stopping only at West Hampstead) were reinstated.
From March 2009, Southeastern and Thameslink began running some peak hour trains from Sevenoaks to Luton, though in the off-peak these services turn back at Kentish Town.
Services
The typical daytime service from the station is four trains per hour southbound to central London, Wimbledon and Sutton; and four trains per hour northbound, of which two terminate at St Albans and two at Luton; and night train services between Bedford-Brighton/Gatwick Airport/Three Bridges. After 19:00 the southbound service is only two trains per hour, but the station is served by four trains per hour northbound two from St. Pancras and two from London Bridge until 22:30, when the service becomes two trains per hour.
