History
Senri-Chūō Station serves as the core station of Senri New Town and the Hokusetsu region. The Kita-Osaka Kyūkō Electric Railway portion first opened as a temporary stop on 24 February 1970 to ferry visitors to Expo '70, then relocated underground to its present site on 14 September 1970 once the Expo Line was decommissioned, leaving Senri-Chūō as the line's northern terminus. Osaka Monorail platforms opened above on 1 June 1990 as part of the line's first segment; the monorail was extended west to Shibahara in 1994. On 23 March 2024 the Kita-Osaka Kyūkō line was extended north to Minoh-Kayano, ending the station's 54-year run as a terminus.
Notes
The original 1970 Kita-Osaka Kyūkō temporary station once stood where the in-bound lanes of the Chūgoku Expressway now run. The abandoned Expo Line tunnel is still visible from the right-hand window just after trains coming from the Momoyamadai direction enter the tunnel.
