Uxbridge Road station, Uxbridge Road

(c.1910)
(2017)

Shepherd's Bush station was opened 27th May 1844 by the West London Railway (WLR) but, along with the rest of the newly opened line, closed on 1st December the same year due to poor passenger numbers. When services on the line recommenced on 2nd June 1862 the station did not re-open but was eventually replaced by Uxbridge Road station (top photo) slightly to the south which opened on 1st November 1869.

Following severe bomb damage, the station and the rest of the line was closed to passenger services on 21st October 1940.
The station buildings were demolished in July 1968 shortly before construction of the M41 motorway (now the A3220) and the Holland Park Roundabout started.

Passenger services only resumed on this part of the line in 1994 when the Willesden Junction to Clapham Junction and the Watford Junction to Brighton services were introduced.
A new Shepherd's Bush station was opened on 28th September 2008 and was built on the site of the original 1844 station.
